Abstract excerpt
One key problem in precision genome editing is the unpredictable plurality of sequence outcomes at the site of targeted DNA double stranded breaks (DSBs). This is due to the typical activation of the versatile Non-homologous End Joining (NHEJ) pathway. Such unpredictability limits the utility of somatic gene editing for applications including gene therapy and functional genomics. For germline editing work, the...
