Researchers engineered and screened dozens of base editors to precisely target a single mutation without editing other portions of the DNA.

Identifying a few key genes within the vastness of the human genome was once akin to finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. But with the introduction of functional genomic screening, scientists ...
