Inducing multiple nicks promotes interhomolog homologous recombination to correct heterozygous mutations in somatic cells

Abstract CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing has great potential utility for treating genetic diseases. However, its therapeutic applications are limited by unintended genomic alterations arising from DNA double-strand breaks and random integration of exogenous DNA. In this study, we propose NICER, a...
