What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Nature-published (2025-07-30), openly available, with measured on-target parity (55.7% vs 48.3% median indel) and ~95% lower off-target editing (0.32% vs 6.1%) whose off-targets are a subset of SpCas9's with no new edits — strong for research adoption; the guardrails are licensing and the absence of in vivo therapeutic validation.
Next
Use the open GitHub/AddGene sequence for in vitro / research editing where higher specificity matters; benchmark against SpCas9 on your loci. For any commercial/therapeutic path, execute the Profluent license and run full biosafety evaluation first.
