Multiplex nucleotide editing by high-fidelity Cas9 variants with improved efficiency in rice

Abstract Background Application of the CRISPR/Cas9 system or its derived base editors enables targeted genome modification, thereby providing a programmable tool to exploit gene functions and to improve crop traits. Results We report that PmCDA1 is much more efficient than rAPOBEC1 when fused to CRI...
