Precise base editing without unintended indels in human cells and mouse primary myoblasts

Base editors cause unintended indels at the target sites Several types of evolved base editors based on the CRISPR system have been developed for more accurate and efficient genome engineering21,37. Among these, AncBE4max and ABEmax were evolved by modifying codon usage, NLSs, and ancestral deaminase reconstructions21. These modifications greatly improve…

CRISPR Gene Editing: Cas9 and Beyond

Scientists use the CRISPR-Cas9 system to target a DNA sequence of interest near a protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM). The PAM initiates Cas9-DNA binding, a guide RNA (yellow) invades the double helix (blue) and hybridizes with the target DNA, and Cas9 (red) breaks the unwound double-stranded target DNA. iStock Meletios Verras Stay…
