Great RAMPAGE review from my fellow Science majors. We wanted to utilize real CRISPR technology as our scientific backdrop. Of course I still screw up what this acronym means. 🤷🏾‍♂️ https://t.co/CON7dPlTwY

@Fatwa_Adikusuma Should also mention that a trio of Berkeley labs also looked at correcting DMD using Cas9: https://t.co/w98NXu0Dd4.

@Fatwa_Adikusuma @Fatwa_Adikusuma Eric Olson's lab did it with regular Cpf1 in mdx mice I believe? Wouldn't be surprising if someone tried it with base editor though.
