Cas12a Base Editors Induce Efficient and Specific Editing with Low DNA Damage Response

Summary: The advent of base editors (BEs) holds great potential for correcting pathogenic-related point mutations to treat relevant diseases. However, Cas9 nickase (nCas9)-derived BEs lead to DNA double-strand breaks, which can trigger unwanted DNA damage response (DDR). Here, we show that the origi...
