- 7Ars Technica AI·7/24/2026researchAlphaFold helps redesign gene-editing proteins to cut off-target effects
Researchers reported in Nature that they modified AlphaFold-based protein-folding software to identify regions in gene-editing proteins linked to off-target edits. They then altered those regions to reduce unintended DNA changes and improve safety. The work targets a key barrier to broader use of gene-editing therapies.
