New base editing tool achieves high efficiency and precision, unlocking hard-to-edit disease mutations

Researchers from the University of California San Diego developed a way to minimize bystander edits, unwanted edits that occur when a base editor edits the bases surrounding the desired nucleobase. The work is published in Nature Biotechnology.  Base editing has progressed from the laboratory to patient care, treating debilitating or terminal illnesses, in less than… The post New base editing tool achieves high efficiency and precision, unlockin…
