At Omega Therapeutics, our goal is to pioneer a new class of DNA-sequence-targeting, mRNA-encoded therapeutics to fundamentally transform human medicine in the service of patients. Our pioneering OMEGA Epigenomic Programming platform is designed to coopt nature’s universal operating system by harnessing the power of epigenetics, the mechanism for gene control and cell differentiation. We have deciphered the three-dimensional architecture of the human genome and its accompanying regulators, which are organized into distinct and evolutionarily conserved structures called Insulated Genomic Domains, or IGDs. IGDs are the fundamental structural and functional units of gene control and cell differentiation and act as the “control room” of biology. Most diseases are caused by aberrant gene expression rooted in alterations in IGDs. The OMEGA platform has enabled us to systematically identify and validate thousands of novel DNA-sequence-based epigenomic “zip codes” within IGDs. We call these epigenomic targets EpiZips. We rationally design and engineer modular, programmable mRNA-encoded epigenetic medicines, which we call Omega Epigenomic Controllers, or OECs, to target EpiZips for Precision Genomic Control. This enables us to precisely tune genes to a desired level of expression and to control the duration of expression. Through this approach, we believe that the OMEGA platform has broad potential applicability across a range of diseases and conditions.
