Abstract excerpt
RNA-guided endonucleases (RGENs) have invigorated the field of site-specific nucleases. The success of Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) has led to the discovery of several other CRISPR-associated RGENs. As more RGENs become available, it will be necessary to refine their activity before they can be translated into the clinic. With this in mind, we sought to demonstrate how deep mutational scanning (DMS) could...
