Genome editing enables scientists to make changes to DNA, allowing them to understand gene function better and develop novel ways to treat diseases. It can be used to introduce, delete or correct any DNA sequence in many different types of cells and organisms.
Here are 8 of the top genome editing CROs in North America:

Lab Management Software for Genome Editing CROs: Scispot.io
Scispot has become the primary lab management software of choice for numerous modern biotech companies, including genome editing CROs.
Scispot creates a connected digital replica of these innovative bioscience companies. It centralizes their company-wide data, templatizes routine research and automates non-scientific tasks. It makes other lab software such as electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) and lab information management systems (LIMS) redundant.
Genome Editing CROs use Scispot's operating platform to manage their research projects, inventory, samples, and partners all in one spot. Request a demo to learn how you can accelerate your research using Scispot.
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
