Cytosine base editor 4 but not adenine base editor generates off-target mutations in mouse embryos

H. K. Lee, H. E. Smith, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Hye Kyung Lee and colleagues delves into the fidelity of cytosine base editor 4 (BE4) versus adenine base editor (ABE) in mouse embryos, revealing critical insights about genetic editing efficiency and precision.

Abstract
This study investigates the fidelity of cytosine base editor 4 (BE4) and adenine base editor (ABE) in mouse embryos using whole-genome sequencing. The results show that BE4-edited mice have more single-nucleotide variants and deletions than ABE-edited mice and controls, indicating a need for BE4 optimization. While ABE demonstrates high fidelity, rare aberrant C-to-T conversions at specific target sites require further investigation.
