Targeted A-to-G base editing in human mitochondrial DNA with programmable deaminases – Cell
Jin-Soo Kim’s team has discovered how to edit the mitochondrial genome to cure mitochondrial diseases. The first step was to adapt the basic editing system to induce C-to-T substitutions in mtDNA in mice because gene editing systems, such as CRISPR-Cas9, cannot edit mtDNA. Now the Kim lab has taken the next step: inducing A-to-G substitutions […]
