Biochemical characterization of the two novel mgCas12a proteins from the human gut metagenome

Abstract CRISPR/Cas9 and Cas12a belonging to the Class II CRISPR system are characterized by a single-component effector protein. Despite unique features of Cas12a like DNA cleavage with 5′ staggered ends and a single crRNA, Cas12a has not been adopted in biotechnological applications to the similar...
