ON-target genotoxicity in gene editing is generally underestimated. Here the authors report Fluorescence-Assisted Megabase-scale Rearrangements Detection (FAMReD) systems to detect and characterize rare large loss of heterozygosity: they show that ON-target genotoxicity can be prevented by p53 and cell cycle arrest.
