CRISPR-based homology-directed repair (HDR) is an invaluable tool to facilitate specific mutations in a genomic region of interest in research studies. While many methods have been reported for improving HDR efficiency, achieving precise changes via HDR remains a challenge, particularly for large knock-ins. These insertions can be generated via HDR using enzymatically-generated donor templates. In this webinar you will learn:
