A new genome editing tool—minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT)—can achieve simultaneous and orthogonal gene editing and gene regulation in human cells. The coming together of ...
Like base editing, prime editing offers a safer way to genome editing by relying on a nickase enzyme that “nicks” one DNA strand at a time, rather than cutting both simultaneously. Then, with the ...
Prime editing uses specialized machinery consisting of a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) and a Cas9 enzyme fused to a reverse transcriptase. The version of Cas9 used in prime editing has one of its ...
