How Does Prime Editing - In almost less than a minute Work?

Prime Editing is like fixing a spelling mistake in a very important book, but it takes almost less than a minute!

Imagine you have a book that tells your body how to work. If there’s a typo on one of the pages, your body might not know what to do. Prime Editing is like having a super-smart editor who can find that typo and fix it quickly.

How It Works

Prime Editing uses a special tool called a "molecular scissors", kind of like a pair of tiny, super-accurate scissors made from proteins. These scissors can cut out the wrong part of the sentence in the book so your body gets the right message.

But Prime Editing doesn’t stop there! It also has a "pencil" attached to the scissors. This pencil writes in the new correct word right where it was supposed to be, like magic, but not magical, just really smart and efficient!

So, when everything is done, your body reads the corrected sentence and works properly again, all in less than a minute! Prime Editing is like fixing a spelling mistake in a very important book, but it takes almost less than a minute!
