Protospacer adjacent motif (PAM)-distal sequences engage CRISPR Cas9 DNA target cleavage.

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated enzyme Cas9 is an RNA-guided nuclease that has been widely adapted for genome editing in eukaryotic cells. However, the in vivo target specificity of Cas9 is poorly understood and most studies rely on in silico predicti...
