Exon skipping technologies remain hindered by aberrant splicing and low efficacy. Here, Miskalis et.al. developed SPLICER, a Cas9 base editor toolbox which enhances overall exon skipping efficiency and lowers cryptic splicing, demonstrating the use of SPLICER for skipping APP exon 17 in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.
