Parts of a DNA spotlighted -- Coverage from STAT — Adobe

Ring Therapeutics, a gene therapy startup launched by Flagship Pioneering, has laid off just under 20% of its staff, or 19 employees, Flagship confirmed to STAT.

These viruses, tiny bugs called anelloviruses, had the potential to be safer and more versatile than the viruses currently used for gene therapy, called AAVs.
