2020 journal article

A positive, growth-based PAM screen identifies noncanonical motifs recognized by the S. pyogenes Cas9

SCIENCE ADVANCES, 6(29).

By: D. Collias n, R. Leenay n, R. Slotkowski n, Z. Zuo*, S. Collins n, B. McGirr n, J. Liu*, C. Beisel n

TL;DR: It is reported that SpyCas9 also recognizes sequences within an N(A/C/T)GG motif, which could have implications for precise editing, off-target predictions, and CRISPR-based immunity. (via Semantic Scholar)
