Base Editing
"From Single Nucleotide
Polymorphisms to Disease
Correction"
Genome Base Editing (BE)
• It’s a technique that allows for precise changes to individual
nucleotides in the DNA sequence without creating DSBs
• It converts one base pair into another without requiring DNA
cleavage
• It’s a new technology for precise modification of DNA or RNA of
living cells at the single base resolution
