We created a drug candidate, CRMA-1001, that silences the hepatitis B virus using methylation tags without cutting its DNA.

Epigenetics and epigenomics have transformed our understanding of how plants interpret, store, and transmit information beyond DNA sequence alone. Technologies such as high-resolution epigenome ...
