Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells through epigenetic editing without altering the genetic sequence itself. It’s a great tool for controlling gene expression.”.

Now a common gene editing tool, the popularity of the CRISPR-Cas9 system has increased over the past decade. CRISPR is notable for engineering living cells, allowing scientists to edit, turn off, delete, or replace genes in a cell’s genome. The results demonstrate potential as a novel, safe and effective approach to cell therapies.

Now, given the extraordinary success of the Covid-19 vaccines, the mRNA platform may bring renewed hope as researchers explore its potential to advance medicines for rare diseases. Interestingly, at least 80% of all rare diseases originate from monogenic mutations, meaning that they arise from mutations in a single gene 4.
