The abugoot lab combines natural biological discovery and molecular engineering to develop a suite of new tools for manipulation of dna, rna, and cellular states the cellular engineering toolbox. these tools have the ability to push our understanding of complex systems, provide novel diagnostic insights, and enable new platforms of therapeutics.
Dna Editing Could Help Cure Diseases Youtube This is more complicated than editing cell's dna in a lab dish. for one thing, researchers must use a viral vector to ferry dna encoding the zfns and the new gene into the liver cells. although this virus, called adeno associated virus, is widely used in gene therapy and is considered safe, it can trigger a potentially dangerous immune response. A recently patented genome editing tool called paste holds genuine promise for expanding the universe of treatable genetic diseases. the approach combines elements of crispr and prime editing with. Building on the crispr gene editing system, mit researchers designed a new tool that can snip out faulty genes and replace them with new ones. the new technique, paste, could hold promise for treating diseases that are caused by defective genes with a large number of mutations, such as cystic fibrosis. The abugoot lab realized that they could likely do it using prime editing alongside some creative (and significant!) protein engineering. they combined prime editing with an integrase via protein fusions, using prime to lay a “beacon” into the genome that a fused integrase would then integrate into with a large dna insert – or.
