Compact type II-D Cas9 nucleases for efficient and specific genome editing

Five previously uncharacterized MG102-like Cas9d orthologs are identified that share the hallmark genomic, sequence, and structural features of type II-D Cas9 and establish compact MG102-like Cas9d orthologs as robust and specific genome editors and provide promising, single-AAV– compatible scaffolds for in vivo therap...
