Abstract excerpt
Fusing apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like cytidine deaminase with catalytically impaired Cas proteins (e.g., nCas9 or dCas9) provides a novel gene-editing technology, base editing, that grants targeted base substitutions with high efficiency. However, genome-wide and transcriptome-wide off-target mutations are observed in base editing, which raises safety concerns regarding...
