Rapid and tunable method to temporally control gene editing based on conditional Cas9 stabilization

CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing enables specific deletion of target genes. Here, Senturket al. develop an inducible editing system by fusing a conditional destabilization domain to Cas9 and demonstrate temporal control of gene editing in response to a synthetic ligand.
