Abstract
Genome and transcriptome engineering have emerged as powerful tools in modern biotechnology, driving advancements in precision medicine and novel therapeutics. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current methodologies, applications, and future directions in genome and transcriptome engineering. Through this, we aim to provide a guide for tool selection, critically analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, and best use cases of these tools to provide context on their suitability for various applications. We explore standard and recent developments in genome engineering, such as base editors and prime editing, and provide insight into tool selection for change of function (knockout, deletion, insertion, substitution) and change of expression (repression, activation) contexts. Advancements in transcriptome engineering are also explored, focusing on established technologies like antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and RNA interference (RNAi), as well as recent developments such as CRISPR-Cas13 and adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADAR). This review offers a comparison of different approaches to achieve similar biological goals, and consideration of high-throughput applications that enable the probing of a variety of targets. This review elucidates the transformative impact of genome and transcriptome engineering on biological research and clinical applications that will pave the way for future innovations in the field.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering (RBME) serves as a platform to review the state-of-the-art and trends in the interdisciplinary field of biomedical engineering, which encompasses engineering, life sciences, and medicine. The journal aims to consolidate research and reviews for members of all IEEE societies interested in biomedical engineering. Recognizing the demand for comprehensive reviews among authors of various IEEE journals, RBME addresses this need by receiving, reviewing, and publishing scholarly works under one umbrella. It covers a broad spectrum, from historical to modern developments in biomedical engineering and the integration of technologies from various IEEE societies into the life sciences and medicine.
