‘Bad’ cholesterol gene silenced without altering the DNA sequence

By Paul McClure Epigenetic editing has been used to silence a cholesterol-regulating gene in miceAI-generated by DALL-E By silencing the gene responsible for regulating ‘bad’ cholesterol without altering the primary DNA sequence, researchers have shown that it’s possible to use epigenetic editing to treat diseases rather than conventional DNA-breaking gene editing technology, which risks unintended effects....
