The first ABE was about 50% efficient in human cells on average, but its effectiveness varied depending... the chromosomal location, sequence context, and cell type. Multiple labs worked to improve its effectiveness...and more flexible in their target preferences (Gaudelli et al., 2020; Richter et al., 2020).
