CRISPR-Cas9 has emerged as a potent genome editing tool that promises unprecedented control and specificity in targeting desired sequences and has been successfully employed in many cell lines and organisms. However, whether CRISPR-Cas9 can function in a setting where the target sequences can fold into stable secondary structures (alternat...
