Journal ArticleDOI

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing in human tripronuclear zygotes

TL;DR: It is found that CRISPR/Cas9 could effectively cleave the endogenous β-globin gene (HBB), however, the efficiency of homologous recombination directed repair (HDR) of HBB was low and the edited embryos were mosaic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correction of β-thalassemia mutant by base editor in human embryos

TL;DR: The feasibility of curing genetic disease in human somatic cells and embryos by base editor system is demonstrated and base editor variants, with narrowed deamination window, could promote G-to-A conversion at HBB −28 site precisely in human embryos.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide profiling of adenine base editor specificity by EndoV-seq

TL;DR: This study presents the first detection method to evaluate genome-wide off-target effects of ABE, and reveals possible similarities and differences between ABE and canonical Cas9 nuclease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effective gene editing by high-fidelity base editor 2 in mouse zygotes

TL;DR: The feasibility of generating point mutations in mouse by base editing is demonstrated, and the need to carefully optimize base editing systems in order to eliminate proximal-site deamination is underscored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient Production of Gene-Modified Mice using Staphylococcus aureus Cas9.

TL;DR: SaCas9 can specifically cleave the target gene locus, leading to successful gene knock-out and precise knock-in in mouse zygotes, and highlight the potential of using SaCas9 for genome editing in preimplantation embryos and producing gene-modified animal models.
