The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool is the most significant recent breakthrough within CRISPR, claiming the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. Base editing: cutting-edge CRISPR technologyBase editing, is one the newest CGT technologies, built on the foundation laid by CRISPR-based technologies. The safety features of base editors make the technology an extremely attractive prospect for cell and gene therapy applications. From concept to clinical applicationThe Pin-point base editing system is an example of one of the latest generation CRISPR-Cas-derived genome editing technologies. Researchers call for greater awareness of unintended consequences of CRISPR gene editing.
