Journal Club: Turning a Toxin into a Genome Editing Tool: In this episode of Journal Club we discuss the development of the first genome editing enzyme capable of performing precision edits to the mitochondrial genome. Mutations in the mitochondrial genome cause over 150 different human diseases, but none of our existing gene editing tools have been able to edit this DNA. This newly developed tool can be used to create better models of these diseases and and perhaps one day be used to treat them with gene therapy. by Raising Health
