A CRISPR Cas9 nickase protein makes a single-strand DNA nick, and then a base-converting enzyme, physically attached to Cas9, makes a cytosine-to-thymine switch. We typically deliver base editors ...

A UCO team has applied the genome editing technique, which garnered a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020, to unravel the ...

The Cas9 nickase cuts the unbound complementary strand ... “It’s not as simple a system as the original CRISPR-Cas9 or base editing where you have that single guide RNA and you target the site,” ...

Both Cas9 and Cas12a cleave DNA, but they differ in how they cut the molecule.

When the CRISPR Cas9 protein is added to a cell along with a piece of guide RNA, the Cas9 protein hooks up with the guide RNA and then moves along the strands of DNA until it finds and binds to a ...
