Precise genomic integration of large DNA fragments by donor-directed annealing using prime editing.

A programmable gene replacement tool, named prime assembly (PA), which adapts prime editors to produce one or two pairs of 3'-flaps on both the genome and donor DNA, allowing megabase-scale genomic excision and/or kilobase-scale donor insertion at the gene of interest.

From Double-Strand Breaks to Precision Edits: A Comparative Review of Modern Genome Editing Tools

This review compares Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair (HDR) with generations of cytosine base editors (CBE1–CBE3), adenine base editors (ABE1-ABE7), and prime editors (PE1–PE3b), focusing on their mechanistic distinctions, efficiencies, delivery challenges, and therapeutic applications.

High-diversity base mutagenesis via simultaneous adenine, cytosine and guanine editing

Base editors hold great promise in endogenous mutagenesis for genetic screening. However, the development of base editors that induce saturated multi-base conversions with diverse mutation spectrum is challenging. Here, we develop triple base editors (smACGs) that simultaneously mutagenize adenine, cytosine, and guanin...
