Deskripsi

Base editing allows the precise introduction of point mutations into cellular DNA without requiring double-stranded DNA breaks or homology-directed repair, which is inefficient in postmitotic cells. Here the authors demonstrate in vivo base editing of post-mitotic somatic cells in the postnatal mouse inner ear with physiological outcomes.
