Usually, the Cas9 protein is hunting for a specific sequence of 20 letters in the DNA code, but if it finds one where 18 out of 20 match its target, it might make its edit anyway. To find out why this occurs, the team used cryo-electron microscopy to observe what Cas9 is doing when it interacts with a mismatched sequence.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To their surprise, they discovered a strange finger-like structure that had never been observed before.
