Single-stranded oligonucleotides (ssODNs) are used as donor templates for gene editing by targeted endonuclease cleavage and homology directed repair (HDR). We probed their sequence fidelity by deep sequencing ssODNs from three manufacturers, and genomes derived from editing using these ssODNs as templates for HDR. The ssODNs carry single-nucleotide and small deletion synthesis errors in proportions differing widely among manufacturers; these are propagated into the genome by HDR; therapeutic gene correction strategies will need to this additional source of editing errors.

"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.
