The prime editor is a fusion protein consisting of a catalytically impaired Cas9 nickase (Cas9n) and an engineered reverse transcriptase (RT). The Cas9n is guided by a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) ...

Prime Medicine’s prime editors have corrected a gene mutation in primates that causes a rare liver disease, a step toward taking the tech to humans. In an Oct. 27 presentation at the annual European ...

Gene editing techniques, including CRISPR, prime editing, and nucleases, allow scientists to tackle genetic diseases, cancer, ...

Surface model of SpCas9–reverse transcriptase–pegRNA–target DNA complex. The prime editor, composed of a SpCas9 and a reverse transcriptase, reverse transcribes template sequence in pegRNA, resulting ...

Prime Medicine, a biotech company that set out to use its more precise approach to gene editing to develop new one-time treatments for rare diseases, is expanding its scope to more prevalent ...

A team of researchers has adapted engineered virus-like particles (eVLPs)—that they had previously designed to carry base editors—to deliver prime editors to cells in mice at a high enough efficiency ...

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 ...

Scientists use a precise form of gene editing called prime editing to correct the most common genetic mutations that cause alternating hemiplegia of childhood, a rare and severe neurological disorder ...
