Summary:
- This article describes a new gene editing technology called "Prime Editing" that can precisely insert, delete, or correct DNA sequences in human cells.
- Prime Editing uses a modified CRISPR-Cas9 enzyme and a guide RNA to identify the target DNA sequence and then precisely make the desired genetic changes.
- This technology has the potential to treat a wide range of genetic diseases by correcting disease-causing mutations, and could lead to advancements in gene therapy and personalized medicine.
