Abstract excerpt
Class 2 CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) systems offer a unique protocol for genome editing in eukaryotic cells. The nuclease activity of Cas9 has been harnessed to perform precise genome editing by creating double-strand breaks. However, the nuclease activity of Cas9 can be triggered when there is imperfect complementarity between the RNA guide sequence and an off-target genomic...
