Replacing the SpCas9 HNH domain by deaminases generates compact base editors with an alternative targeting scope

Base editors are RNA-guided deaminases that enable site-specific nucleotide transitions. The targeting scope of these Cas-deaminase fusion proteins critically depends on the availability of a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) at the target locus and is limited to a window within the CRISPR-Cas R-loop...
