Improved CRISPR genome editing using small highly active and specific engineered RNA-guided nucleases

Improved CRISPR genome editing using small highly active and specific engineered RNA-guided nucleases

Small CRISPR Cas9 proteins have potential in gene therapies but generally have poor editing efficiency or specificity and often recognize sub-optimal PAM sequences. Here the authors characterise four small nucleases and use protein engineering to create effective in vivo editors.
