A novel Cas9 fusion protein promotes targeted genome editing with reduced mutational burden in primary human cells
18 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
Precise genome editing requires the resolution of nuclease-induced DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) via the homology-directed repair (HDR) pathway. In mammals, this is typically outcompeted by non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) that can generate potentially genotoxic insertion/deletion mutations at DSB sites. Because of higher efficacy, clinical genome editing has been restricted to imperfect but efficient...
