A gene-editing approach called prime editing could one day help treat many illnesses by turning faulty genes into healthy ones. However, the technique sometimes introduces small mistakes into DNA, which can occasionally be harmful. Researchers at MIT have now discovered a way to significantly reduce these errors by altering the key proteins that drive the editing process. They believe this …
