Abstract: CRISPR-mediated genome editing is a revolutionary technology for genome manipulation that uses the CRISPR-Cas systems and base editors. Currently, poor efficiency and off-target problems have impeded the application of CRISPR systems. The on-target efficiency has been improved in several advanced ve...
Abstract: As versatile and robust genome editing tools, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technologies have been broadly used in basic research, biotechnology, and therapeutic development. Off-target mutagenesis by CRISPR systems has been demonstrated, and various methods have...
Abstract: Site-directed RNA editing (SDRE) is invaluable to basic research and clinical applicationsand has emerged as a new frontier in genome editing. The past few years have witnessed a surge of interest in SDRE, with SDRE tools emerging at a breathtaking pace. However, off-target effects of SDRE remain a ...
Abstract: Intracellular compartmentation is a key strategy for the functioning of a cell. In 2010, several studies revealed that the metabolic enzyme CTP synthase (CTPS) can form filamentous structures termed cytoophidia in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. However, recent structural studies showed that CTPS ...
