Abstract
Provided are fusion proteins and related molecules useful for conducting base editing with reduced or no off-target mutations. The fusion proteins may include a first fragment comprising a nucleobase deaminase or a catalytic domain thereof, a second fragment comprising a nucleobase deaminase inhibitory domain, and a protease cleavage site between the first fragment and the second fragment. Also provided are improved prime editing systems, including prime editing guide RNA with improved stability.
