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

TLDR
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.

High-fidelity CRISPR–Cas9 nucleases with no detectable genome-wide off-target effects

TL;DR: With its exceptional precision, SpCas9-HF1 provides an alternative to wild-type Sp Cas9 for research and therapeutic applications and suggests a general strategy for optimizing genome-wide specificities of other CRISPR-RNA-guided nucleases.

CRISPR-Cas12a target binding unleashes indiscriminate single-stranded DNase activity

TL;DR: It is shown that RNA-guided DNA binding unleashes indiscriminate single-stranded DNA cleavage activity by Cas12a that completely degrades ssDNA molecules, which is also a property of other type V CRISPR-Cas12 enzymes.

CRISPR-Mediated Adaptive Immune Systems in Bacteria and Archaea

TL;DR: The mechanisms of CRISPR-mediated immunity are reviewed and the ecological and evolutionary implications of these adaptive defense systems are discussed.

The tracrRNA and Cas9 families of type II CRISPR-Cas immunity systems

TL;DR: The CRISPR-Cas is a rapidly evolving RNA-mediated adaptive immune system that protects bacteria and archaea against mobile genetic elements as mentioned in this paper, which relies on the activity of short mature CRISpr RNA...

A Cas9-guide RNA complex preorganized for target DNA recognition

TL;DR: The guide RNA in the CRISPR-Cas immune/editing system is poised to initiate recognition of target DNA and is construe this as convergent evolution of a “seed” mechanism reminiscent of that used by Argonaute proteins during RNA interference in eukaryotes.

Obligate ligation-gated recombination (ObLiGaRe): custom-designed nuclease-mediated targeted integration through nonhomologous end joining.

TL;DR: ObLiGaRe is described, a new method for site-specific gene insertions that uses the efficient NHEJ pathway and acts independently of HR, and has enabled us to insert a 15-kb inducible gene expression cassette at a defined locus in human cell lines.
