Efficient generation of mouse models of human diseases via ABE- and BE-mediated base editing

CRISPR-based base editors allow for single nucleotide genome editing in a range of organisms. Here the authors demonstrate the in vivo generation of mouse models carrying clinically relevant mutations using C→T and A→G editors.
