Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

These modifications regulate gene expression without changing the sequence or structure of DNA. The tool could also prove to be safer than conventional CRISPR-based gene therapies as it does not involve DNA editing, and thus would not cause potentially harmful off-target genomic changes. pyogenes dCas9.
