Targeted insertion of large genetic payloads using cas directed LINE-1 reverse transcriptase

Abstract A difficult genome editing goal is the site-specific insertion of large genetic constructs. Here we describe the GENEWRITE system, where site-specific targetable activity of Cas endonucleases is coupled with the reverse transcriptase activity of the ORF2p protein of the human retrotransposo...
