Abstract excerpt
Precise genome editing by systems such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) requires high-efficiency homology-directed repair (HDR). Different technologies have been developed to improve HDR but with limited success. Here, we generated a fusion between the Cas9 endonuclease and the Agrobacterium VirD2 relaxase (Cas9-VirD2). This chimeric protein...
