Abstract excerpt
The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 system has been widely used to create animal models for biomedical and agricultural use owing to its low cost and easy handling. However, the occurrence of erroneous cleavage (off-targeting) may raise certain concerns for the practical application of the CRISPR-Cas9 system. In this study, we created a melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R)-edited...
