Genotoxic effects of base and prime editing in human hematopoietic stem cells
Base and prime editors (BEs and PEs) may provide more precise genetic engineering than
nuclease-based approaches because they bypass the dependence on DNA double-strand …

Ex vivo prime editing of patient haematopoietic stem cells rescues sickle-cell disease phenotypes after engraftment in mice
Sickle-cell disease (SCD) is caused by an A· T-to-T· A transversion mutation in the β-globin
gene (HBB). Here we show that prime editing can correct the SCD allele (HBB S) to wild …
