Prime editing is an advanced genome editing technology that enables precise genetic modifications without inducing double-strand breaks or requiring donor DNA templates. Prime editing has rapidly ...

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 ...

While researchers have long appreciated the enormous potential of genome editing to treat disease, applications of these technologies in humans have historically been limited by safety concerns. Even ...

We are often confronted with a simple question, “which gene editing technique is the best?”; the simple answer is “there isn’t one”. In 2021, a year after prime editing first made its mark, we ...
