Efficient silencing of hepatitis B virus S gene through CRISPR‐mediated base editing
26 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major risk factor of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) has been used to precisely edit the HBV genome and eliminate HBV through non-homologous end-joining repair of double-stranded break (DSB). However, the CRISPR/Cas9-mediated DSB triggers instability of host...
