To address the limitations deriving from the unspecific genomic cleavages of the Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) and to identify variants with higher cleavage fidelity， the present invention describes a yeast-based assay which allows to simultaneously evaluate the on- and off-target activity towards two engineered genomic targets. The screening of SpCas9 variants obtained by random mutagenesis of the Red -II domain allowed the identification of hits with increased on/off ratios. The best performing nuclease， evoCas9， was isolated through the combination of the identified mutations within a single variant. Side by side analyses with previously reported rationally designed variants demonstrated a significant improvement in fidelity of evoCas9 of the present invention.
