Abstract excerpt
The CRISPR-Cas system holds great promise in the treatment of diseases caused by genetic variations. The Cas protein, an RNA-guided programmable nuclease, generates a double-strand break at precise genomic loci. However, the use of the clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas system to distinguish between single-nucleotide variations is challenging. The promiscuity of the guide RNA...
