Genome-wide analyses of PAM-relaxed Cas9 genome editors reveal substantial off-target effects by ABE8e in rice
Yuechao Wu, Qiurong Ren, Zhaohui Zhong…·Yong Zhang
The paper analyzes off-target effects of PAM-relaxed Cas9 editors in rice using whole-genome sequencing and finds ABE8e causes ~500 A-to-G mutations per plant at TA motifs.

A large-scale whole-genome sequencing analysis reveals highly specific genome editing by both Cas9 and Cpf1 nucleases in rice
Xu Dong Tang, Guanqing Liu, Jianping Zhou…·Yong Zhang
This study uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze off-target mutations in Cas9 and Cpf1-edited rice, finding most mutations arise from tissue culture rather than nuclease activity.
