Impact of predictive selection of LbCas12a CRISPR RNAs upon on‐ and off‐target editing rates in soybean by Linda Rymarquis, Chenxi Wu, Diane Hohorst, Miguel Vega‐Sanchez, Thomas E. Mullen, Vijetha Vemulapalli, Douglas R. Smith

“…In addition, edits at off‐target sites have lower inheritance rates than on‐target edits, suggesting that they occur later in the plant's lifecycle. Plants with a desired on‐target edit and no off‐target edits could be identified in the T1 generation for 100% of the T0 plants edited with the Unique crRNA compared with the 65% of T0 plants edited with the Promiscuous crRNA. …”
