Understanding their mechanisms and exploring their potential applications can lead to significant advancements in various fields.           🔹 Base editing involves the direct conversion of one DNA base to another without creating double-stranded breaks. This process relies on the fusion of a DNA-modifying enzyme and a programmable RNA-guided nuclease, such as CRISPR-Cas9. The enzyme catalyzes the chemical conversion of a specific base, resulting in targeted genetic alterations. For example, cytidine deamin...
