Abstract excerpt
The genome editing protein Cas9 faces engineering challenges in improving off-target DNA cleavage and low editing efficiency. In this study, we aimed to engineer Cas9 to be able to slide along DNA, which might facilitate genome editing and reduce off-target cleavage. We used two approaches to achieve this: reducing the sliding friction along DNA by removing the interactions of Cas9 residues with DNA and...
