Abstract excerpt
Originally discovered as part of an adaptive bacterial defense system against the invasion of foreign phages, programmable CRISPR-Cas nucleases have emerged as remarkable enzymes with transformative potential for both biological research and clinical application. CRISPR-Cas nucleases likely evolved in their natural context to tolerate imperfect specificity in order to recognize mutant bacteriophages. However, in...
