CRISPR Start-Loss: A Novel and Practical Alternative for Gene Silencing through Base-Editing-Induced Start Codon Mutations

CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene knockout and base-editing-associated induction of STOP codons (iSTOP) have been widely used to exterminate the function of a coding gene, while they have been reported to exhibit side effects. In this study, we propose a novel and practical alternative method referred to as...
