The gene-editing technologies, which have reached the clinic, CRISPR, zinc finger nucleases, and TALENs, make their edits by nicking DNA at the target site. Electroporation is used for ex vivo delivery of therapies to blood and immune cells. Beam employs three approaches to deliver its genetic medicines to cells.
