Cell paper: in vivo gene writing with engineered retrotransposons
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-10-24
A shared link to a new Cell paper demonstrating in vivo gene writing using engineered retrotransposons.
Retrotransposons naturally copy-and-paste themselves into genomes; engineering them could enable gene writing directly inside living organisms, a notable advance for genome editing. Technical details are in the linked paper.
