Precise plant genome editing using base editors and prime editors.

TL;DR: A review of the current status of base editors and prime editors in plants is provided in this paper, which summarizes both technological developments and biological applications of these precise genome editors, including base editing and prime editing technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The CRISPR-Cas toolbox and gene editing technologies

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of CRISPR-Cas-related technologies can be found in this article , where the authors introduce and summarize the characteristics and applications of different types of CRispr-Cas tools.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide specificity of prime editors in plants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mismatch tolerance of PEs in plant cells was examined and the editing frequency was influenced by the number and location of mismatches in the primer binding site and spacer of the prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA).
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly efficient heritable genome editing in wheat using an RNA virus and bypassing tissue culture.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Barley stripe mosaic virus-based sgRNA delivery vector (BSMV-sg) was used to perform heritable genome editing in Cas9-transgenic wheat plants.

A programmable dual-RNA-guided DNA endonuclease in adaptive bacterial immunity.

TL;DR: This study reveals a family of endonucleases that use dual-RNAs for site-specific DNA cleavage and highlights the potential to exploit the system for RNA-programmable genome editing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Programmable editing of a target base in genomic DNA without double-stranded DNA cleavage

TL;DR: E engineered fusions of CRISPR/Cas9 and a cytidine deaminase enzyme that retain the ability to be programmed with a guide RNA, do not induce dsDNA breaks, and mediate the direct conversion of cytidine to uridine, thereby effecting a C→T (or G→A) substitution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Programmable base editing of A•T to G•C in genomic DNA without DNA cleavage

TL;DR: Adenine base editors (ABEs) that mediate the conversion of A•T to G•C in genomic DNA are described and a transfer RNA adenosine deaminase is evolved to operate on DNA when fused to a catalytically impaired CRISPR–Cas9 mutant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted genome modification of crop plants using a CRISPR-Cas system.

TL;DR: This work, together with the mice work, demonstrates that it should be feasible to produce genetargeted models in rodents and probably other mammalian species using the CRISPRCas systems.
