An Episomal CRISPR/Cas12a System for Mediating Efficient Gene Editing

(1) Background: Gene editing technology, as represented by CRISPR is a powerful tool used in biomedical science. However, the editing efficiency of such technologies, especially in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and other types of stem cells, is low which hinders its application in regenerat...
