What Innovations are on the Horizon for RNA-Based Gene Editing?
Innovations in the field include the development of base editors and prime editors, which allow for more precise modifications without causing double-stranded breaks. These newer technologies also rely on catalytic principles, using engineered enzymes that can alter specific nucleotides or insert sequences directly. Researchers are also exploring the potential of CRISPR-Cas systems from different organisms, which may offer varying catalytic properties and expand the toolkit available for gene editing.
