Compact Cas9d and HEARO enzymes for genome editing discovered from uncultivated microbes

Programmable, RNA-guided nucleases are diverse enzymes that have been repurposed for biotechnological applications. Here, the authors mine an extensive genome-resolved metagenomics database and identified uncharacterized families of RNA-guided, compact nucleases.
