In vivo diversification of target genomic sites using processive base deaminase fusions blocked by dCas9

In vivo mutagenesis systems can often show restricted capabilities and deleterious off-site mutations. Here the authors fuse base deaminases to T7 RNA polymerase to mutate a target sequence and use dCas9 to define the boundaries of the diversified DNA.
