Episode Synopsis

Epigenetic editing refers to the locus-specific targeting of epigenetic enzymes to rewrite the local epigenetic landscape of an endogenous genomic site, often with the aim of transcriptional reprogramming. Implementing clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat–dCas9 greatly accelerated the advancement of epigenetic editing, yielding preclinical therapeutic successes using a variety of epigenetic enzymes. Here, we review the current applications of these epigenetic editing tools in mammals and shed light on biochemical improvements that facilitate versatile applications.doi.org/10.1016/j.cbpa.2020.04.020 - 2020
