Prime editing for functional repair in patient-derived disease models

Prime editing uses Cas9 nickase fused to a reverse transcriptase to edit genetic information. Here, the authors prime edit primary adult stem cells in 3D organoid cultures to show functional correction of pathogenic mutations without genome-wide off-target effects.
