Adenine was first discovered in 1885 by the German physiologist Albrecht Kossel. He isolated adenine from the pancreas of oxen and named it "adenine" derived from the Greek word "aden," meaning gland.

Now, researchers at Harvard University have designed a new class of adenine base editors (ABEs) that can efficiently turn A-T into G-C, opening up the majority of pathogenic point mutations for ...
