Abstract

The genome editing toolkit is ever expanding. Although CRISPR-Cas systems can target virtually any gene, single-nucleotide resolution is yet to be achieved. Walton and colleagues engineered nucleases and base editors compatible with every protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) to achieve high-precision targeting. Their findings revealed the striking plasticity of Cas9.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
