In trans paired nicking triggers seamless genome editing without double-stranded DNA cutting

CRISPR-Cas9-based gene editing involves double-strand breaks at target sequences, which are often repaired by mutagenic non-homologous end-joining. Here the authors use Cas9 nickases to generate coordinated single-strand breaks in donor and target DNA for precise homology-directed gene editing.
