Abstract

Targeted genome editing using engineered nucleases can reliably generate defined genetic mutations, although the range of off-target lesions caused by these techniques is unclear. Recent papers in Cell Stem Cell perform high-coverage whole-genome sequencing to demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining correctly targeted pluripotent stem cell clones with minimal unintended modifications.
