The length of the sgRNA-DNA complementary sequence is a key factor influencing the cleavage activity of Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9(SpCas9)and its variants.The detailed mechanism remains unknown.Here,based on in vitro...
A large number of beneficial agronomic traits in crops are associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)or point mutations(Jiao et al.,2010;Li et al.,2017;Ma et al.,2015).In the past,site-specific point mutati...
