PAMless SpRY exhibits a preference for the seed region for efficient targeting

Summary: Protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM) recognition licenses Cas nucleases for genome engineering applications, thereby restricting gene targeting to PAM-containing regions. Protein engineering has led to PAM-relaxed SpCas9 variants like SpG and SpRY. Given the evolved role of PAMs in facilitating...
