Current base- and prime-editing technologies lack efficient strategies to edit multiple genomic loci simultaneously, limiting their applications in complex genomics and polygenic diseases. Here, we describe drive-and-process (DAP) CRISPR array architectures for multiplex base-editing (MBE) and multi...
