Directed evolution has revolutionized biomolecular engineering by applying cycles of mutation, amplification and selection to genes of interest (GOIs). However, classical directed …
Cytosine base editors (CBEs) are larger and can suffer from higher off-target activity or lower on-target editing efficiency than current adenine base editors (ABEs). To develop a CBE that …
Cytosine base editors (CBEs) enable programmable genomic C· G-to-T· A transition mutations and typically comprise a modified CRISPR–Cas enzyme, a naturally occurring …
CRISPR–Cas base-editor technology enables targeted nucleotide alterations, and is being increasingly used for research and potential therapeutic applications,. The most widely used …

Recently developed DNA base editing methods enable the direct generation of desired point mutations in genomic DNA without generating any double-strand breaks,–, but the …
Cytosine or adenine base editors (CBEs or ABEs) can introduce specific DNA C-to-T or A-to- G alterations,,–. However, we recently demonstrated that they can also induce transcriptome …
Genome editing has transformed the life sciences and has exciting prospects for use in treating genetic diseases. Our laboratory developed base editing to enable precise and …
CRISPR-Cas–guided base editors convert A• T to G• C, or C• G to T• A, in cellular DNA for precision genome editing. To understand the molecular basis for DNA adenosine …
