The mammalian zygote-mediated CRISPR/Cas system can efficiently generate targeted
genome-modified animals. However, this system is limited by the risk of off-target mutations.
Here we show that offset-nicking by Cas9 nickase and paired gRNAs allows us to generate
region deleted mice and targeted knock-in mice without off-target mutations.
