CRISPR-Cas9 expression independent of its cognate synthetic guide RNA (gRNA) causes widespread genomic DNA damage in human cells. To investigate whether Cas9 can interact with endogenous human RNA tra
Additional file 2: Table S1. Transcriptome profiles of N2a cells transfected of RfxCas13d and crRNA, and DEGs identified through comparisons (Linked to Figs. 1, 2, and 3 and the answer to the first qu
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) RNA-guided nucleases have gathered considerable excitement as a tool for genome engineering. However, questions remain about the speci
The rapid feasibility of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing for therapeutic applications has perpetuated the need to assess potentially deleterious off-target editing events. Here we show the importance of cont
