Mapping the sugar dependency for rational generation of a DNA-RNA hybrid-guided Cas9 endonuclease
CRISPR-Cas9 systems are being continually improved to enhance specificity and improve functionality. Here the authors design hybrid DNA-RNA guide and tracr molecules to direct Cas9 nuclease activity with reduced off-target effects.
