Abstract
Manipulating RNA species in mammalian cells has emerged as an important strategy for precise gene expression control. Here we review recent advances in precision transcriptome editing with a focus on tools that engineer specific transcripts for abundance, translation, base editing, alternative isoforms, and chemical modifications. While some of these methods have demonstrated efficiency in therapeutically relevant cellular or in vivo models, most require further study on their clinical safety and efficacy. Precision transcriptome engineering holds great potential for both mechanistic study of RNA biology and future gene and cell-based therapeutic applications.
