Twin Prime Editing in Gene Therapy
March 8, 2022 | Terry Sharrer
Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard . . . describes “ twin prime editing (twinPE), a technique that makes two adjacent prime edits to introduce larger sequences of DNA at specific locations in the genome with few unwanted byproducts. With further development, the technology could potentially be used as a new form of gene therapy to insert therapeutic genes in a safe and highly targeted manner to replace mutated or missing genes.” MORE
