Improving Cas12a- and Cas12i-based tools for precise adenine editing in plant DNA

Updated

Abstract

Essence

Coupling high-activity Cas12 nucleases with dimeric TadA-8e is presented as a way to improve plant adenine base editing.

Evidence

A plant-genome editor optimization study used Cas12a- and Cas12i-based adenine base editors built from high-activity nucleases and dimeric TadA-8e.

Caveat

Because the abstract gives no plant species, loci, editing rates, or off-target results, the scope and precision of the improvement are hard to judge.
