Editor's cut: DNA cleavage by CRISPR RNA-guided nucleases Cas9 and Cas12a
24 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Discovered as an adaptive immune system of prokaryotes, CRISPR-Cas provides many promising applications. DNA-cleaving Cas enzymes like Cas9 and Cas12a, are of great interest for genome editing. The specificity of these DNA nucleases is determined by RNA guides, providing great targeting adaptability. Besides this general method of programmable DNA cleavage, these nucleases have different biochemical...
