TS-032141 — The guide RNA is chemically modified to improve Cpf1 nuclease activity, reduce toxicity, decrease off-target effects, and increase stability.
The Need
CRISPR technology is an exciting tool for editing the genomes of live organisms. With CRISPR, researchers have replaced target genes with chosen alternative genes in species ranging from bacteria to live mice. The CRISPR system uses either the Cas9 or Cpf1 protein to bind a given DNA seque…
