RNA-guided <i>As</i> Cas12a- and <i>Sp</i> Cas9-catalyzed knockout and homology directed repair of the <i>omega-1</i> locus of the human blood fluke, <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i>
2021-11-16
Abstract excerpt
We compared the efficiency of gene knockout (KO) and precision of insertion (knock-in, KI) of the RNA-guided As Cas12a nuclease of Acidaminococcus sp. with that of Sp Cas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes , aiming to enhance the functional genomics toolkit for Schistosoma mansoni . Programmed DNA cleavages catalyzed by Cas12a and Cas9 result in staggered and blunt ended strand breaks, respectively. TTTV, the optim...
