Transposase‐Assisted Donor Tethering Boosts Large‐Fragment HDR in Plants
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A transposase‐assisted donor tethering strategy is developed to enhance homology‐directed repair in plants. By recruiting donor DNA to double‐strand breaks and synergizing with repair pathway reprogramming and transcription‐coupled donor design, this system markedly improves large‐fragment targeted insertion efficiency, providing a robust platform for ...
