PRINT: RNA-Mediated Safe-Harbor Transgene Insertion
2026-08-24
The reference study introduces PRINT, an RNA-only strategy that uses avian R2 retroelement proteins to insert transgenes at a multicopy human safe-harbor locus through target-primed reverse transcription. Its results show substantial insertion frequencies in cultured human primary cells while avoiding donor DNA, although locus specificity, junction integrity, delivery, and long-term safety require further validation.
