As a PhD student, I attended my first international scientific conference in October 2019. One of the keynote presentations was delivered by David R. Liu, who introduced prime editing, his group’s new precision genome-editing technology that enabled programmable rewriting of genomic DNA with unprecedented versatility. Just 2 weeks later, this work was published in Nature. Before prime editing, CRISPR-based homology-directed repair was generally used for precise modification of genomic DNA.

Main text (Cell 186, 3182–3195.e1–e14; July 20, 2023) In the originally published version of this paper, some of the labels in Figure 2A were incorrectly colored and named. The gray box for SCP300 on the classification ring and four lines have been changed to red. SCP117 and SCP223 are now correctly labeled SCP177 and SCP233, respectively. Also, SCP062 was moved into the ring.
