Today in @NatureNano, we report an all-RNA lipid nanoparticle (LNP) system for efficient in vivo prime editing (PE). We identify bottlenecks in transient prime editor delivery, develop a workflow for LNP optimization, and use it to rescue a mouse model of phenylketonuria.

Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR.
We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets.
