An optimized toolkit for precision base editing

CRISPR base editing is a potentially powerful technology that enables the creation of genetic mutations with single base pair resolution. By re-engineering both DNA and protein sequences, we developed a collection of constitutive and inducible base editing vector systems that dramatically improve the ease and efficiency by which single nucleotide variants can be created. This new toolkit is effective in a wide range of model systems and provides a means for efficient in vivo somatic base editing.
