Metagenomi unveils compact gene editing platform at CRISPR conference

globenewswire.com October 15, 2024, 02:00 AM UTC

Summary: Metagenomi introduced its compact SMART adenine base editors at the AIChE 7th International Conference on CRISPR Technologies. These editors can fit into a single adeno-associated virus (AAV), enhancing gene editing efficiency for various therapeutic applications.

The new SMART platform addresses challenges in delivering gene editing tools to tissues beyond the liver, which is crucial for treating neuromuscular diseases. Unlike traditional tools that exceed AAV capacity, Metagenomi's system allows for more effective delivery and potential treatment options.

Metagenomi has optimized the SMART platform through collaborations and advanced AI techniques. This development marks a significant step in creating more efficient gene editing systems for therapeutic use.
