Perspectives

  • Researchers highlight the security risks of genome editing despite its medical benefits. They call for an integrated approach to regulate and prevent misuse, noting insufficient focus on dual-use concerns in the WHO’s 2021 framework. Proposed steps include 1) integrating genome editing into security strategies, 2) enhancing international dialogue, 3) creating a global verification mechanism, and 4) tracking genome editing technologies.
  • A perspective in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology explores the structural and biochemical intricacies that govern the functionality of CRISPR–Cas technologies. The author emphasizes the need for a nuanced mechanistic understanding to overcome current limitations and pave the way for safer and more effective genome-editing applications in medicine and research. The author argues that uncovering the rate-limiting biochemical and enzymatic mechanisms of genome-editing technologies will broaden existing horizons and lead to the development of new tools to modify the genome.
