Abstract excerpt
Prime editing is a recently reported genome editing tool using a nickase-cas9 fused to a reverse transcriptase that directly synthesizes the desired edit at the target site. Here, we explore the use of prime editing in human organoids. Common TP53 mutations can be correctly modeled in human adult stem cell-derived colonic organoids with efficiencies up to 25% and up to 97% in hepatocyte organoids. Next, we...
