Comparing Epigenetic Options to Overcome AAV Size Constraints & Improve Payload Efficiency
1:45 pm
- Surveying the range of epigenetic editing tools available as alternatives to conventional Cas9 to help you identify smaller, more packaging-friendly options for your AAV program
- Contrasting the efficiency, specificity and size profiles of different editing tool to equip you with a clearer framework for selecting the right tool within AAV constraints
- Highlighting real-world applications of compact epigenetic editing tools across gene editing programs to give you practical insight into how these tools are being deployed clinically
