Novel epigenome editors for multiplexed gene regulation

Novel epigenome editors for multiplexed gene regulation

Unmet Need Epigenome editors activate or inhibit gene expression without modifying the underlying DNA sequence. Consequently, these editors can reversibly fine-tune gene expression without the risk of permanently altering the genome or off-target editing. Epigenome…
