A gene-editing approach called prime editing could one day help treat many illnesses by turning faulty genes into healthy ones. However, the technique sometimes introduces small mistakes into DNA, which can occasionally be harmful.

An investigation is under way after a Ryanair flight battling with high wind speeds during storm Amy last week landed at Manchester airport with just six minutes of fuel left in its tanks.
The pilots had been taking passengers from Pisa in Italy to Prestwick in Scotland on Friday evening, but wind speeds of up to 100mph meant they were unable to land.
After three failed attempts to touch down, the pilots of Ryanair flight FR3418 issued a mayday emergency call and raced to Manchester, where the weather was calmer.
The Boeing 737-800 had just 220kg of fuel left in its tanks when it finally landed, according to a picture of what appears to be a handwritten technical log. Pilots who examined the picture said this would be enough for just five or six minutes of flying.
Analysis of the log suggests the plane left Pisa with reserve fuel, as commercial flights are required to do.
A spokesperson for the airline said: “Ryanair reported this to the relevant authorities on Friday [3 October]. As this is now subject of an ongoing investigation, which we are co-operating fully with, we are unable to comment.”
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch confirmed on Thursday it had opened an investigation after being notified by Ryanair.
A spokesperson said: “The AAIB has commenced an investigation into a serious incident involving an aircraft which was diverted from Prestwick to Manchester Airport on Friday 3 October. AAIB inspectors have begun making inquiries and gathering evidence.”
The Boeing 737-800 can carry up to 189 passengers. One person on board recounted what is thought to have been a two-hour attempt to make a safe landing, saying the plane made two attempts to land at Prestwick, before heading for Edinburgh and finally Manchester.
“Everyone was calm until the descent; we were being buffeted around a lot and jumping. There were a few worried people on the second descent as we could feel the plane was struggling,” Alexander Marchi told the Ayr Advertiser.
“Then the pilot surprised us by saying he was going to attempt Edinburgh. This was just as bad, though, as the second time at Prestwick.

“There was turbulence over the Firth of Forth and then as we approached the airport, as we were very close to landing, again we had to pull up sharply.”
The passengers were taken from Manchester to Prestwick, arriving 10 hours later than the scheduled arrival time of 6pm on Friday.
One pilot who reviewed the log said: “Just imagine that whenever you land with less than 2T (2,000kg) of fuel left you start paying close attention to the situation. Less than 1.5T you are sweating. But this is as close to a fatal accident as possible.”

AUSTIN, Texas – October 9, 2025 – CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been recognized as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). We believe this recognition demonstrates CrowdStrike’s expertise in reimagining SIEM with AI, real-time data, and a unified platform approach.
Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM is driving adoption of the Falcon® platform as the operating system of cybersecurity. Organizations are leveraging its native, hyper-scalable data foundation to solve their most complex security and IT problems, replacing legacy SIEMs that are plagued by poor data ingestion and limited retention, complex workflows, delayed searches, and high costs. By unifying native Falcon and third-party data with AI-driven automation and real-time intelligence, Falcon Next-Gen SIEM unlocks new capabilities, cost efficiencies, and agentic speed, reducing complexity while delivering the scale and responsiveness modern defenders require.
“Legacy SIEM has failed to keep pace with evolving threats and the scale of enterprise data,” said Ajit Sancheti, general manager, Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, CrowdStrike. “Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is the engine of the agentic SOC, delivering the automation, speed, and control to transform SOC operations. Combined with our acquisition of Onum and relentless AI innovation, Falcon Next-Gen SIEM sets a new standard for how data drives modern security.”
Innovation Driving the Agentic SOC
The addition of Onum’s real-time streaming technology supercharges Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, eliminating data migration friction and the need for third-party tools. By bringing AI-powered detections directly to third-party data sources through in-pipeline analysis, Onum reduces data storage costs by up to 50 percent while delivering 70 percent faster incident response with 40 percent less ingestion overhead. And with enriched, real-time streams directly to AI agents, Onum immediately boosts the efficacy of Falcon agentic innovations and customers’ wider ecosystem.
As part of its Agentic Security Workforce announced at Fal.Con 2025 in September, CrowdStrike unveiled new mission-ready agents within Falcon Next-Gen SIEM that will automate high-friction tasks so humans can focus on strategy, judgment, and commanding outcomes. These agents perform search analysis, correlation rule generation, data transformation, and workflow generation. With Onum and continuous AI innovation, Falcon Next-Gen SIEM sets a new standard for what organizations expect from their SIEM.
