Double Nicking by RNA-Guided CRISPR Cas9 for Enhanced Genome Editing Specificity

Targeted genome editing technologies have enabled a broad range of research and medical applications. The Cas9 nuclease from the microbial CRISPR-Cas system is targeted to specific genomic loci by a 20 nt guide sequence, which can tolerate certain mismatches to the DNA target and thereby promote und...
