Assessment of food toxicology by Alexander Gosslau

“…A decrease of rodent animal testing with its limitations of high costs, low throughput readouts, inconsistent responses, ethical issues and concerns of extrapolability to humans have led to an increased use of these but also alternative lower hierarchy surrogate animal models (e.g. Drosophila melanogaster; Caenorhabditis elegans or Danio rerio) and efforts to integrate organotypic systems and stem cell-based assays. …”

A universal and wide-range cytosine base editor via domain-inlaid and fidelity-optimized CRISPR-FrCas9 by Lan Hu, Jing Han, Hao-Da Wang, Zhou-Hua Cheng, Chang-Ce Lv, Dong-Feng Liu, Han-Qing Yu

“…The deaminase domain-inlaid FrCas9n exhibits an editing range covering 38 nucleotides upstream and downstream of the palindromic PAM, without context preference, which is 6.3 times larger than that of traditional CBEs. Additionally, lower off-target editing is achieved when incorporating high-fidelity mutations at R61A and Q964A in FrCas9n, while maintaining high editing efficiency. …”
