Guide RNAs containing universal bases enable Cas9/Cas12a recognition of polymorphic sequences

Genetic variance poses a major challenge for CRISPR-based human therapeutics and pathogen diagnostics. Here the authors show how to circumvent this issue by using guide RNAs containing universal bases to tailor Cas9/Cas12 specificity.
