Cytosine base editors with minimized unguided DNA and RNA off-target events and high on-target activity

Cytosine base editors have been reported to induce off-target mutations in DNA and RNA. Here the authors identify next-generation CBEs with reduced guide-independent off-target editing profiles and retain high on-target editing activity.
