The Chromatin Structure of CRISPR-Cas9 Target DNA Controls the Balance between Mutagenic and Homology-Directed Gene-Editing Events

Gene editing based on homology-directed repair (HDR) depends on donor DNA templates and programmable nucleases, e.g., RNA-guided CRISPR-Cas9 nucleases. However, next to inducing HDR involving the mending of chromosomal double-stranded breaks (DSBs) with donor DNA substrates, programmable nucleases a...
