The PROTECTOR strategy employs dCas orthologs to sterically shield off-target sites from CRISPR/Cas activity
Abstract Off-target mutagenesis of CRISPR/Cas systems must be solved to facilitate safe gene therapy. Here, we report a novel approach, termed "PROTECTOR", to shield known off-target sites by directing the binding of an orthologous nuclease-dead Cas protein to the off-target site to steric...
