Frequency and mechanisms of LINE-1 retrotransposon insertions at CRISPR/Cas9 sites
The identification of events occurring at target sites is critical to determine the safety of CRISPRbased DNA editing tools. Here, the authors show that LINE-1 retrotranspositions can occur frequently at canonical CRISPR/Cas9 editing sites, but are rare with prime editors and base editors.
