A homology independent sequence replacement strategy in human cells using a CRISPR nuclease.

Abstract excerpt

Precision genomic alterations largely rely on homology directed repair (HDR), but targeting without homology using the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway has gained attention as a promising alternative. Previous studies demonstrated precise insertions formed by the ligation of donor DNA into a targeted genomic double-strand break in both dividing and non-dividing cells. Here, we demonstrate the use of NHEJ...
