Solution modality / CRISPR & Gene Editing

Make the causal case for the edit before designing it.

Which sequence change could produce the biological effect your program needs? Gene editing is a BioTwin research direction, with variant and genome representations providing a foundation for future editor-specific workflows.

Current work Research direction

Connect the sequence change to the intended effect

Determine whether sequence correction is the relevant intervention and specify the edit, biological context and validation question.

Editing approaches under consideration

  • CRISPR editing
  • Base editing
  • Prime editing

The foundations and the work ahead

  • In BioTwin today · CRISPR, base editing and prime editing belong to the research vision. Variant and genome representations provide related foundations.
  • Development and validation · A complete editing workflow would need guide/editor design, off-target assessment, delivery and experimental validation. These are future modality-specific capabilities.

Requirements for an editor-specific program

Make the intended sequence change and causal biological hypothesis explicit. A specialist workflow would need editor and guide design, off-target assessment, delivery and functional validation.
