+ | A well-designed gRNA is able to highly enhance the specificity with Cas9 nickase. The specificity of the CRISPR system is determined in large part by how specific the gRNA targeting sequence is for the genomic target compared to the rest of the genome. | ||
+ | We choose the nickase system for highly specific gene editing. Cas9 nickase binds DNA based on gRNA specificity, only resulting in “nicks”, or single strand breaks, instead of double strand breaks (DSB).DNA nicks are rapidly repaired by homology directed repair (HDR) using the intact complementary DNA strand as the template. | ||
