Where this comes from

Abstract

The first clinical studies utilizing RNA-guided endonucleases (RGENs) to therapeutically edit RNA and DNA in cancer patients were recently published. These groundbreaking technological advances promise to revolutionize genetic therapy and, as I discuss, represent the culmination of decades of innovative work to engineer RGENs for such editing applications.
