In vivo mitochondrial base editing via adeno-associated viral delivery to mouse post-mitotic tissue
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA can lead to clinically heterogeneous disease. Here the authors demonstrate in vivo base editing of mouse mitochondrial DNA in a post-mitotic tissue by AAV delivery of DddA-derived cytosine base editor (DdCBE).

Improved plant cytosine base editors with high editing activity, purity, and specificity [PDF]
SummaryCytosine base editors (CBEs) are great additions to the expanding genome editing toolbox. To improve C‐to‐T base editing in plants, we first compared seven cytidine deaminases in the BE3‐like configuration in rice. We found A3A/Y130F‐CBE_V01 resulted in the highest C‐to‐T base editing efficiency in both rice and Arabidopsis.

Sequence-specific prediction of the efficiencies of adenine and cytosine base editors
Base editors, including adenine base editors (ABEs)1 and cytosine base editors (CBEs)2,3, are widely used to induce point mutations. However, determining whether a specific nucleotide in its genomic context can be edited requires time-consuming experiments.

TadA orthologs enable both cytosine and adenine editing of base editors
AbstractCytidine and adenosine deaminases are required for cytosine and adenine editing of base editors respectively, and no single deaminase could enable concurrent and comparable cytosine and adenine editing. Additionally, distinct properties of cytidine and adenosine deaminases lead to various types of off-target effects, including Cas9-indendepent ...

Gene body methylation patterns in Daphnia are associated with gene family size [PDF]
The relation between gene body methylation and gene function remains elusive. Yet, our understanding of this relationship can contribute significant knowledge on how and why organisms target specific gene bodies for methylation.

TET2 inhibits differentiation of embryonic stem cells but does not overcome methylation-induced gene silencing [PDF]
TET2 is a methylcytosine dioxygenase that is frequently mutated in myeloid malignancies, notably myelodysplasia and acute myeloid leukemia. TET2 catalyses the conversion of 5′-methylcytosine to 5′-hydroxymethylcytosine within DNA and has been implicated ...
