Correction of β-thalassemia mutant by base editor in human embryos

TL;DR: The feasibility of curing genetic disease in human somatic cells and embryos by base editor system is demonstrated and base editor variants, with narrowed deamination window, could promote G-to-A conversion at HBB −28 site precisely in human embryos.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human telomeric proteins occupy selective interstitial sites

TL;DR: The results indicate that human telomeric proteins could occupy a limited number of interstitial sites and regulate gene transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide profiling of adenine base editor specificity by EndoV-seq

TL;DR: This study presents the first detection method to evaluate genome-wide off-target effects of ABE, and reveals possible similarities and differences between ABE and canonical Cas9 nuclease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effective gene editing by high-fidelity base editor 2 in mouse zygotes

TL;DR: The feasibility of generating point mutations in mouse by base editing is demonstrated, and the need to carefully optimize base editing systems in order to eliminate proximal-site deamination is underscored.
