CRISPR-based genome engineering tools are associated with off-target effects that constitutively active Cas9 protein may instigate. In the present study, we screened for irreversible small molecule off-switches of CRISPR-Cas9 and discovered that selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINEs) could inhibit the cellular activity of CRISPR-Cas9 by interfering with the nuclear export of Cas9 mRNA. We subsequently found that SINEs, including an FDA-approved anticancer drug KPT330, could improve the specificities of CRISPR-Cas9-based genome and base editing tools in human cells.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
