Deskripsi

Application of adenine base editors (ABE) has been precluded by low activity. Here the authors show the generation of a human cell based ABE directional screening system and identification of ABE variant (NG-ABEmax-KR) exhibiting a significant increase in activity for human and mouse genome manipulation.
