RNA-guided transposases: the successors to CRISPR

CRISPR undoubtedly transformed genome editing, but it left two crucial problems unsolved. Cas nucleases cut the chromosome and leave the cell to repair the break, an error-prone process that is inefficient for installing new DNA, and Cas9 is large relative to the cargo that viral vectors can carry for gene therapy. A n...

Next-Generation Genome Editing: Overcoming CRISPR-Cas9 Limitations with Prime Editing and PASTE Technology

CRISPR-Cas9 has transformed gene editing; however, it is based on doublestrand DNA breaks, which may result in unintentional mutations and structural alterations, thereby limiting its clinical translation. Instead of DSBs, new precision instruments, including prime editing, can be used to perform accurate search-an...
