PASTE: a high-throughput method for large DNA insertions

Abstract

Prime editing (PE) enables precise genome editing at targeted locus without inducing double-stranded breaks (DSBs). Despite its precision, PE lacks the tendency to integrate large DNA fragments into the genome. Recently, Yarnall et al. reported clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 and an integrase-based system that conducts targeted integration of large DNA sequences (~36 kb) into the genome more efficiently.
