Abstract excerpt
The use of prime editing-a gene-editing technique that induces small genetic changes without the need for donor DNA and without causing double strand breaks-to correct pathogenic mutations and phenotypes needs to be tested in animal models of human genetic diseases. Here we report the use of prime editors 2 and 3, delivered by hydrodynamic injection, in mice with the genetic liver disease hereditary tyrosinemia,...
