Abstract excerpt
RNA-guided endonucleases such as Cas9 provide efficient on-target genome editing in cells but may also cleave at off-target loci throughout the genome. Engineered variants of Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) have been developed to globally reduce off-target activity, but individual off-targets may remain, or on-target activity may be compromised. In order to evolve against activity at specific off-targets...
