Durable and efficient gene silencing in vivo by hit-and-run epigenome editing

Nature, Published online: 28 February 2024; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-07087-8Experiments in mice show that designed epigenome editors that contain domains of transcriptional repressors can enable stable epigenetic silencing of Pcsk9, a gene with a role in cholesterol homeostasis, without inducing DNA breaks.
