Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Too early to adopt

Why
Genuine peer-reviewed breakthrough (Science, Sept 2025) for megabase-scale rearrangement, but proof-of-concept efficiencies (~20% insertion) and absence of delivery/primary-cell validation place it at the research frontier, not a usable platform.
Next
Track the Science publication (DOI 10.1126/science.adz1884) and Arc's follow-on work on >1 Mb edits and delivery; revisit when efficiency in primary cells and a delivery vehicle are demonstrated.
