Enhanced proofreading governs CRISPR-Cas9 targeting accuracy
2017-07-06
Abstract excerpt
The RNA-guided CRISPR-Cas9 nuclease from Streptococcus pyogenes (SpCas9) has been widely repurposed for genome editing 1-4 . High-fidelity (SpCas9-HF1) and enhanced specificity (eSpCas9(1.1)) variants exhibit substantially reduced off-target cleavage in human cells, but the mechanism of target discrimination and the potential to further improve fidelity were unknown 5-9 . Using single-molecule Förster resonance...
