Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) is the most widely used genome editing tool in plants. The editing induced by SpCas9 strictly requires a canonical NGG protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM), significantly limiting its scope of application. Recently, five SpCas9 variants, SpCas9-NRRH, SpCas9-NRCH, SpCas9-NRTH, SpG, and SpRY, were developed to recognize non-canonical PAMs in human cells. In this study, these...
