For those interested in CRISPR tech I'd highly suggest reading up on BEAM therapeutics. It's base pair editing which makes it much more precise compared to CRISPR which is editing DNA chains. They don't have editors for all base pairs yet but they have a couple and it looks very promising.

The Base Editor (and Prime Editor, etc.) _is_ CRISPR (Cas9) but with additional components fused to it that provide it additional features allowing it to edit in a more elegant way over the naked Cas9.

So CRISPR now has frameworks? Cool.
