Highly efficient genome editing by CRISPR-Cpf1 using CRISPR RNA with a uridinylate-rich 3′-overhang

Cpf1 is a promising alternative to Cas9 though indel generation efficiency is target dependent. Here the authors show that the addition of a polyU 3′ overhang can improve the efficiency of low efficiency guide RNAs.
