Design of Fragment Deletion Editing guide RNAs
Base editors (BE) have two principal components that are fused together to form a single protein: (i) a CRISPR protein, bound to a guide RNA, and (ii) a base editing enzyme, such as a deaminase, which carries out the desired chemical modification of the target DNA base. More ....
Advantages:
1) The creation of precise, predictable and efficient genetic outcomes at a targeted sequence 2) High efficiency editing without need for template-based homology directed repair, and 3) Avoidance of the unwanted consequences of double-stranded DNA breaks.
