Post-translational Regulation of Cas9 during G1 Enhances Homology-Directed Repair

CRISPR/Cas9 induces DNA double-strand breaks that are repaired by cell-autonomous repair pathways, namely, non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), or homology-directed repair (HDR). While HDR is absent in G1, NHEJ is active throughout the cell cycle and, thus, is largely favored over HDR. We devised a st...
