New research has determined the spatial structure of various processes of a novel gene-editing tool called ‘prime editor.’ Functional analysis based on these structures also revealed how a ‘prime editor’ could achieve reverse transcription, synthesizing DNA from RNA, without ‘cutting’ both strands of the double helix. Clarifying these molecular mechanisms contributes greatly to designing gene-editing tools accurate enough for gene therapy treatments.
