Incorporation of bridged nucleic acids into CRISPR RNAs improves Cas9 endonuclease specificity
Minimizing off-target effects is an important concern for therapeutic applications of CRISPR-Cas9. Here, the authors show that incorporating bridged or locked nucleic acids into crRNA improves editing kinetics and reduces off-target cleavage.
