New Gene Editing Tool Allows Editing Without Cutting Double Helix Strands |
|
A study led by Yutaro Shuto, Ryoya Nakagawa, and Osamu Nureki of the University of Tokyo has demonstrated the spatial structure and mechanisms of the gene editing tool called prime editor, revealing its ability to perform reverse transcription without cutting both strands of double helix. Their findings, published in Nature, contribute to the design of precise gene editing tools for gene therapy.
