DNA targeting specificity of RNA-guided Cas9 nucleases

The Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) nuclease can be efficiently targeted to genomic loci by means of single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) to enable genome editing1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Here, we characterize SpCas9 targeting specificity in human cells to inform the selection of target sites and av...
