Covalent linkage of the DNA repair template to the CRISPR-Cas9 nuclease enhances homology-directed repair
The CRISPR-Cas9 targeted nuclease technology allows the insertion of genetic modifications with single base-pair precision. The preference of mammalian cells to repair Cas9-induced DNA double-strand breaks via error-prone end-joining pathways rather than via homology-directed repair mechanisms, howe...
