Therapeutic Gene Editing: DNA Repair Pathways, Emerging Editors, and Clinical Progress
ABSTRACT The field of gene editing has evolved rapidly over the past decade, progressing from programmable zinc‐finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator‐like effector nucleases (TALENs) to the widespread adoption of CRISPR‐Cas systems. First‐generation editors catalyzed genome engineering by introducing targeted double‐strand breaks (DSBs ...

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...
