Recent progress and treatment possibilities of prime editing for human diseases

Updated

Abstract

Prime editing (PE) offers improved editing efficiency without the need for double-strand breaks in DNA.

  • PE can target point mutations as well as insertions or deletions in genomic DNA.
  • This approach is associated with fewer byproducts compared to traditional gene editing methods.
  • A variety of online resources and tools have emerged to facilitate personalized pegRNA design and off-target site prediction.
  • The review covers the innovations and strategies behind PE systems and their auxiliary design tools.
  • Potential applications of PE in clinical settings are discussed, highlighting its future prospects.
