What did studies of minimally evolved adenine base editors find?

2

Studies of minimally evolved adenine base editors measured 2 outcomes: Off-target editing and On-target editing.

Off-target editing

downin cells1

1 study
  1. Minimally evolved adenine base editors decrease off-target editing in cells.

    “and exhibit low levels of guide-RNA-dependent and guide-RNA-independent off-target activity”

On-target editing

upin cells1

1 study
  1. Minimally evolved adenine base editors increase on-target editing in cells (matching activities of ABE8e and ABE8.20 in most sequence contexts).

    “ME-ABEs show narrow editing windows (similar to that of ABE7.10) and enhanced on-target editing”
