Blackjack mutations improve the on-target activities of increased fidelity variants of SpCas9 with 5′G-extended sgRNAs

Mutations to SpCas9 can improve fidelity and mitigate off-target effects. Here the authors generate ‘Blackjack’ mutations that improve fidelity while retaining effectiveness with 21G-sgRNAs.
