Transcriptome-wide Cas13 guide RNA design for model organisms and viral RNA pathogens
2020-08-21
Abstract excerpt
CRISPR-Cas13 mediates robust transcript knockdown in human cells through direct RNA targeting. Compared to DNA-targeting CRISPR enzymes like Cas9, RNA targeting by Cas13 is transcript- and strand-specific: It can distinguish and specifically knock-down processed transcripts, alternatively spliced isoforms and overlapping genes, all of which frequently serve different functions. Previously, we identified optimal de...
