Mitochondrial Genome Editing Field Rapidly Expanding

National Library of Medicine
The FusX TALE Base Editor (FusXTBE) for Rapid Mitochondrial DNA Programming of Human Cells In Vitro and Zebrafish Disease Models In Vivo
Functional analyses of mitochondria have been hampered by few effective approaches to manipulate mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and a lack of existing animal models.

An optimized FusX assembly-based technique to introduce mitochondrial TC-to-TT variations in human cell lines
The FusX TALE Based Editor (FusXTBE) is a programmable base editing platform that can introduce specific TC-to-TT variations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).

Frontiers
Efficient multitool/multiplex gene engineering with TALE-BE
TALE base editors are a recent addition to the genome editing toolbox. These molecular tools are fusions of a transcription activator-like effector domain (TALE), split-DddA deaminase halves, and an uracil glycosylase inhibitor (UGI) that have the distinct ability to directly edit double strand DNA, converting a cytosine (C) to a thymine (T).
