Homology-directed repair (HDR) enables generation of site-specific Knockins
HDR is restricted to S/G2 and competes with non-homologous end-joining repair
Cas9-hGem(1/110), a cell-cycle-tailored genome-editing tool, is generated
Cas9-hGem(1/110) increases the rate of HDR up to 1.87-fold compared to wild-type Cas9
