Both CBEs and ABEs have been extensively engineered to improve their efficiency, specificity, and targeting range, enabling a wide variety of base pair conversions across the genome. Base editing can ...
In this talk in GEN’s “The State of CRISPR & Genome Editing” virtual summit, originally broadcast on June 11, 2025, Alexis Komor, PhD, Associate Professor at University of California San Diego and ...
CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing relies on a guide RNA that binds to a desired DNA sequence and a Cas9 enzyme that cuts both strands of DNA at that site, creating a double-strand break. Scientists edit the ...
NEW YORK and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and Beam Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: BEAM), a biotechnology company developing precision genetic medicines ...
Two new studies offer more validation that prime editing and base editing have the potential to permanently fix a gene variant associated with the rare disease phenylketonuria. In two separate papers ...
In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht and their colleagues have used mitochondrial base editing (mtBE) to successfully edit harmful ...
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 ...
Data Published in The CRISPR Journal Describe Inlaid Base Editors (IBEs) that Enhance Editing Efficiency and Capability, an Advancement of the Company’s Pioneering Work in Developing Base Editors Data ...
Congenital hearing loss refers to impaired auditory function that occurs due to genetic causes. GJB2 is the gene responsible for approximately half of all cases of hereditary hearing loss. Connexin 26 ...
