摘要: The simplicity of site-specific genome targeting by type II clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas9 nucleases, along with their robust activity profile, has changed the landscape editing. These favorable properties have made CRISPR-Cas9 system technology choice for sequence-specific modifications in vertebrate systems. For many applications, whether focus is on basic science investigations or therapeutic efficacy, and precision are important considerations when one choosing a nuclease platform, target site delivery method. Here we review recent methods increasing accuracy Cas9 assessing extent off-target cleavage events.
