RAPID: Evaluation of Cas12a Protospacer Nicking and Chimeric Reporters for PAM-independent RNA and DNA diagnostics
2025-07-14
Abstract excerpt
CRISPR-Cas nucleases have revolutionized diagnostics and biotechnology by providing programmable specificity. Here, we extend the understanding of Cas12a biology with a screen that, unexpectedly, finds that Cas12a trans cleavage activity can be modulated by nicks in the protospacer in a position-dependent manner. Wanting to explore the impact of non-conventional trans cleavage substrates, we subsequently find th...
