It is based on a simplified version of the bacterial CRISPR-Cas9 antiviral defense system. By delivering the Cas9 nuclease complexed with a synthetic guide RNA (gRNA) into a cell, the cell's genome ...
2007). The system comprises two RNAs and one protein component: a CRISPR RNA (crRNA), a short RNA that undergoes complementary binding with the foreign DNA;a tracrRNA that hybridizes with the ...
CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing exploits the CRISPR-Cas system to modify a genome in a targeted manner. Guided by RNA, the Cas9 endonuclease breaks DNA at a target sequence. Imprecise repair of the ...
