Orthogonal R-loop assay was performed as described [15]. Briefly, to check off-target editing at site 5, plasmids expressing the dSaCas9 (300 ng) and its gRNA targeting site 5 (200 ng) were co-transfected into HEK293T cells with plasmids expressing an indicated editor (300 ng) and its gRNA targeting EMX1-2 (200 ng). Cells were treated with puromycin, and the editing at both site 5 and EMX1-2 detected by Sanger sequencing as described in the previous section. Off-targeting at site 6 was examined in the same way, except that the plasmid expressing the sgRNA for site 6 was used instead of the site 5 gRNA.
