However, given the stochasticity of cellular DNA repair mechanisms and the potential for introducing mutations at off-target sites, technologies capable of introducing targeted changes with increased precision, such as cytidine deaminase single-base editors, are preferred. We here present a versatile method termed CRISPR-SKIP that utilizes cytidine deaminase single-base editors to program de-novo exon skipping by mutating target DNA bases within splice acceptor sites. Given its simplicity and precision, CRISPR-SKIP will be broadly applicable in gene therapy and synthetic biology.
