Abstract excerpt
The widespread use of Cas12a (formerly Cpf1) nucleases for genome engineering is limited by their requirement for a rather long TTTV protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequence. Here we have aimed to loosen these PAM constraints and have generated new PAM mutant variants of the four Cas12a orthologs that are active in mammalian and plant cells, by combining the mutations of their corresponding RR and RVR variants...
