Molecular basis for the PAM expansion and fidelity enhancement of an evolved Cas9 nuclease.

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas systems have been harnessed as powerful genome editing tools in diverse organisms. However, the off-target effects and the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) compatibility restrict the therapeutic applications of these systems. Rec...
