What is single-base editing?

Single-base editing is a method of correcting individual errors within a single base pair of a genetic code instead of cutting and replacing a whole sequence of DNA. The base editing technique involves converting one DNA base into another. It can change an A-T base pair to a G-C pair. During this transition, the cell is tricked into fixing the complementary base in the strand to check that it is correct. This ensures that the single base editing has successful and correctly changed the error.
