Summary

Epigenome editing is a CRISPR/Cas9-based engineering approach that regulates the epigenomic state of a target genomic region to control the associated gene while causing minimal or no modification of genomic DNA. The cited literature presents it as a novel epigenetic technique and a potential therapeutic modality.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

This approach is useful for modulating gene expression through targeted control of local epigenomic state rather than altering DNA sequence. The supplied literature specifically frames epigenome-editing technologies as having potential for treatment of various diseases.
