Journal ArticleDOI

Cpf1 is a single RNA-guided endonuclease of a class 2 CRISPR-Cas system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized Cpf1, a putative class 2 CRISPR effector, which is a single RNA-guided endonuclease lacking tracrRNA and utilizes a T-rich protospacer-adjacent motif.
Journal ArticleDOI

Double nicking by RNA-guided CRISPR Cas9 for enhanced genome editing specificity

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach that combines a Cas9 nickase mutant with paired guide RNAs to introduce targeted double-strand breaks is described. But the approach is limited to mouse zygotes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-scale transcriptional activation by an engineered CRISPR-Cas9 complex

TL;DR: Structural-guided engineering of a CRISPR-Cas9 complex to mediate efficient transcriptional activation at endogenous genomic loci is described and the potential of Cas9-based activators as a powerful genetic perturbation technology is demonstrated.

Double Nicking by RNA-Guided CRISPR Cas9 for Enhanced Genome Editing Specificity

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that using paired nicking can reduce off-target activity by 50- to 1,500-fold in cell lines and to facilitate gene knockout in mouse zygotes without sacrificing on-target cleavage efficiency.
