Abstract excerpt
The RNA-guided CRISPR-associated Cas9 proteins have been widely applied in programmable genome recombination, base editing or gene regulation in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. SpCas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes is the most extensively engineered Cas9 with robust and manifold functionalities. However, one inherent limitation of SpCas9 is its stringent 5'-NGG-3' PAM requirement that significantly restricts its...
