<p><span><span><span><span lang="EN" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN">Targeted genome editing, a method used to alter the DNA of living cells at desired locations, is poised to revolutionize science and medicine. To fight diseases, novel genome edited therapeutics, including those for use in regenerative medicine and infectious diseases, are being developed. Many commercial applications including agriculture and chemical production, are also leveraging this technology. Whether genome editing will be used in healthcare, agriculture, or basic research, robust quantitative measurements are needed to enable high confidence characterization of DNA alterations. NIST has brought together experts across the genome editing field including stakeholders in industry, academia, and government to assess their measurement needs. These discussions have identified common pre-competitive measurements and standards needed to establish greater confidence in the characterization of genome editing outputs. The NIST-led Genome Editing Consortium has been established to address these needs.</span></span></span></span></p> <h2 class="nist-block__title">C<strong>ONSORTIUM GOALS</strong></h2> <ul><li><span><span><span><span lang="EN" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN">Evaluate genome editing assay pipelines</span></span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span><span lang="EN" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN">Develop benchmark materials</span></span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span><span lang="EN" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN">Generate benchmark data</span></span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span><span lang="EN" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN">Develop suggested minimal information reporting for public studies</span></span></span></span></li> <li><span><span><span><span lang="EN" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN">Generate a common lexicon for genome editing studies </span></span></span></span></li> </ul><h2 class="nist-block__title"><strong>CONSORTIUM ORGANIZATION聽</strong></h2> <p>Three working groups with the following responsibilities:</p> <p><a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="7ba85f77-7003-472d-bd9e-ec11ea938631" href="/web/20240121215110/https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/nist-genome-editing-consortium-working-group-1-specificity-measurements" title="NIST Genome Editing Consortium: Working Group 1 - Specificity Measurements"><strong><em>Working Group 1: Specificity Measurements</em></strong></a></p> <ul><li><span><span><span><span lang="EN" xml:lang="EN" xml:lang="EN">Design, generate, and evaluate cell and DNA based control materials and test via interlab analysis.
