sgBE: a structure-guided design of sgRNA architecture specifies base editing window and enables simultaneous conversion of cytosine and adenosine

Abstract We present a base editing system, in which base editors are attached to different sites of sgRNA scaffold (sgBE). Each independent sgBE has its own specific editing pattern for a given target site. Among tested sgBEs, sgBE-SL4, in which deaminase is attached to the last stem-loop of sgRNA,...
