Conformational control of Cas9 by CRISPR hybrid RNA-DNA guides mitigates off-target activity in T cells

TL;DR: In this article, a CRISPR hybrid RNA-DNA (chRDNA) guides were used to increase Cas9 specificity while preserving on-target editing activity, by perturbing DNA hybridization and modulating Cas9 activation kinetics to disfavor binding and cleavage of off target substrates.

Structural basis for Cas9 off-target activity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report crystallographic structures of Cas9 bound to bona fide off-target substrates, revealing that offtarget binding is enabled by a range of non-canonical base pairing interactions and preservation of base stacking within the guide-off-target heteroduplex.

Crispr abasic restricted nucleotides and crispr accuracy via analogs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide polynucleotide guides for use in CRISPR-Cas systems, where polynotides contain at least one CRisPR abasic restricted nucleotide (CABRNT) and/or at least 1 CAVA nucleotide.
