    摘要: The present disclosure relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a base editing tool and use thereof. The present disclosure provides a fusion protein comprising a first nCas9 fragment, a chimeric insertion fragment, a second nCas9 fragment and two UGI fragments from N-terminus to C-terminus, wherein the chimeric insertion fragment is selected from APOBEC1 fragment or APOBEC3A fragment. The present disclosure provides a novel base editing tool that is compatible with insertion of various deaminases on the chimeric sites of nCas9. Compared with nCas9 terminal fusion base editor, the base editing tool of the present invention significantly reduce of off-targeting on both DNA and RNA, while maintaining specific targeted base editing efficiency, with higher specificity and favorable industrialization prospects.
