MiCas9 increases large size gene knock-in rates and reduces undesirable on-target and off-target indel edits chr(124)_pipe Nature Communications
As described recently in Nature Communications, Michigan Medicine researchers have developed a new variant of the much-touted tool CRISPR-Cas9, which improves both safety and effectiveness when editing DNA.

Today, safety and efficacy continue to hold CRISPR-Cas9 gene targeting back from its full clinical potential.

The new CRISPR-Cas9 variant improves efficiency when inserting a gene or DNA fragment to a precise location in the genome, known as ¡°knocking in.¡±  It also reduces the rate of unintended insertions or deletions of base pairs, known as ¡°indels,¡± that often happen while gene editing.

The new variant is called ¡°meticulous integration Cas9,¡± or miCas9, to reflect its extraordinary capacity to enable maximum integration and create minimal indels.

The team previously reported discoveries about Cas9 genome editing techniques in 2014 and they reported beneficial effects of a RAD51 agonist, called RS-1, in gene editing in 2016.
