Enhancement of Target Specificity of CRISPR-Cas12a by Using a Chimeric DNA-RNA Guide
2020-02-04
Abstract excerpt
The CRISPR-Cas9 system is widely used for target-specific genome engineering. Cpf1 is one of the CRISPR effectors that controls target genes by recognizing thymine-rich protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequences. Cpf1 has a higher sensitivity to mismatches in the guide RNA than does Cas9; therefore, off-target sequence recognition and cleavage are lower. However, it tolerates mismatches in regions distant from the...
