CRISPR-Cas12a nucleases function with structurally engineered crRNAs: SynThetic trAcrRNA
Abstract CRISPR-Cas12a systems are becoming an attractive genome editing tool for cell engineering due to their broader editing capabilities compared to CRISPR-Cas9 counterparts. As opposed to Cas9, the Cas12a endonucleases are characterized by a lack of trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA), which redu...
