An enhanced Eco1 retron editor enables precision genome engineering in human cells without double-strand breaks
2024-08-05
Abstract excerpt
Retrons are a retroelement class found in diverse prokaryotes that can be adapted to augment CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering technology to efficiently rewrite short stretches of genetic information in bacteria and yeast. However, efficiency in human cells has been limited by unknown factors. We identified non-coding RNA (ncRNA) instability and impaired Cas9 activity due to 5' sgRNA extension as key contributors to...
