A “Fourth-Generation” DNA Base Editor Could Replace #CRISPR
“The latest news in genetic science has been dominated by the CRISPR/Cas9 technique over the past five years. But a new “fourth-generation” DNA base editor could see CRISPR dethroned, according to a recent study published in Science Advances.
The fourth-generation base editor — a tool used to modify the building blocks of genetic code, only now with an inhibitor added to protect DNA from accidental changes— heightens editing accuracy and reduces unintentional DNA changes, which occur with current base-editing technologies…”
