New Publication!

Congratulations to Elyne De Neef and Michiel Vanhooydonck on their new publication in Lab Animal:
"Prime editing outperforms homology-directed repair as a tool for CRISPR-mediated variant knock-in in zebrafish"
Their study demonstrates that prime editing achieves higher editing efficiency and fewer off-target effects than conventional HDR approaches for introducing disease-relevant variants in zebrafish. A major step forward in precise genome editing and disease modeling!
