The team is already working to expand the platform’s abilities, including testing in clinically relevant immune and stem cells, and engineering future versions of the system that can rearrange sequences beyond one megabase.

Megabase-scale human genome rearrangement with programmable bridge recombinases
Bridge recombinases are naturally occurring RNA-guided DNA recombinases that we previously demonstrated can programmably insert, excise, and invert DNA in vitro and in Escherichia coli. In this study,...

yep - and in some ways Science did this with the technical comments. but none of this is evident in the citation, PubMed record, search result, PDF, etc. unless the paper is formally retracted
