(2017) Phosphorylation promotes activation - induced cytidine deaminase activity at the Myc oncogene. (mdanderson.org)
CRISPR base editing technologies enable the direct conversion of DNA bases (C to T / A / G) without inducing double - strand breaks of DNA by the fusion of cytidine deaminase with deactivated Cas9 (dCas9) or Cas9 nickase. (rgenome.net)
They do this by producing a «long form» of an enzyme called cytidine deaminase. (newscientist.com)
