Abstract excerpt
Deaminase base editing has emerged as a tool to install or correct point mutations in the genomes of living cells in a wide range of organisms. However, the genome-wide off-target effects introduced by base editors in the mammalian genome have been examined in only one study. Here, we have investigated the fidelity of cytosine base editor 4 (BE4) and adenine base editors (ABE) in mouse embryos using unbiased...
