Optimized design parameters for CRISPR Cas9 and Cas12a homology-directed repair

Abstract CRISPR–Cas proteins are RNA-guided nucleases used to introduce double-stranded breaks (DSBs) at targeted genomic loci. DSBs are repaired by endogenous cellular pathways such as non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homology-directed repair (HDR). Providing an exogenous DNA template during r...
