Features affecting Cas9-Induced Editing Efficiency and Patterns in Tomato: Evidence from a Large CRISPR Dataset

Amit Cucuy, Daniela Ben‐Tov, Cathy Melamed‐Bessudo…·Avraham A. Levy

The paper analyzes a large CRISPR dataset in tomato to identify factors affecting Cas9 editing efficiency and repair patterns, finding chromatin accessibility and genomic context are key determinants.

Uncovering the Dynamics of Precise Repair at CRISPR/Cas9-induced Double-Strand Breaks

Daniela Ben‐Tov, Fabrizio Mafessoni, Amit Cucuy…·Avraham A. Levy

The paper quantifies CRISPR/Cas9-induced DSB dynamics and repair in tomato protoplasts, revealing that precise repair accounts for 40-70% of events, limiting editing efficiency.
