Prime editing

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0

A type of genome editing that uses CRISPR components to directly change any single DNA letter to any other letter or make small insertions without making breaks in the DNA. Prime editors are made by fusing (attaching) DNA-modifying enzymes to DNA-targeting Cas proteins like Cas9.
