Principle of the PE system. dCas9 binds the target DNA under the guidance of pegRNA and nicks the PAM-containing strand. The hybridization of the exposed 3′ end to the PBS primes the reverse transcription of the nicked DNA strand for the desired edit. Given the preference for the 3′ flap, the 5′ flap cleavages and DNA repair installs the desired edit.
