In the presence of an exogenous DNA template with homologous sequence, point mutations can be introduced at Cas9 nuclease-mediated DSBs by homology-directed repair (HDR), one of endogenous cellular repair mechanism. However, the efficiency of HDR is modest since competitive non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway is predominant. Also, it has large variations on the cell type. Recently developed base-editing systems present a useful orthogonal strategy for manipulat...
