2. Cas12a - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cas12a

   Like other Cas enzymes, Cas12a binds to a "guide" RNA (termed a crRNA, or CRISPR RNA) which targets it to a DNA sequence in a specific and programmable matter. In the host organism, the crRNA contains a constant region that is recognized by the Cas12a protein and a "spacer" region that is complementary to a piece of foreign nucleic acid (e.g. a ...

3. CRISPR activation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR_activation

   See: Guide RNA, CRISPR. Complementary base pairing between the sgRNA and genomic DNA allows targeting of Cas9 or dCas9. A small guide RNA (sgRNA), or gRNA is an RNA with around 20 nucleotides used to direct Cas9 or dCas9 to their targets. gRNAs contain two major regions of importance for CRISPR systems: the scaffold and spacer regions.

4. CRISPR - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR

   Cas9 (or "CRISPR-associated protein 9") is an enzyme that uses CRISPR sequences as a guide to recognize and open up specific strands of DNA that are complementary to the CRISPR sequence. Cas9 enzymes together with CRISPR sequences form the basis of a technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 that can be used to edit genes within living organisms.

5. CRISPR gene editing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR_gene_editing

   CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing techniques have many potential applications. The use of the CRISPR-Cas9-gRNA complex for genome editing [10] was the AAAS's choice for Breakthrough of the Year in 2015. [11] Many bioethical concerns have been raised about the prospect of using CRISPR for germline editing, especially in human embryos. [12]

6. CRISPR-associated transposons - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR-associated_transposons

   CRISPR-associated transposons or CASTs are mobile genetic elements that have evolved to make use of minimal CRISPR systems for RNA-guided transposition of their DNA. [1] Unlike traditional CRISPR systems that contain interference mechanisms to degrade targeted DNA, CASTs lack proteins and/or protein domains responsible for DNA cleavage. [ 2 ]

7. CRISPR interference - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR_interference

   CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) is a genetic perturbation technique that allows for sequence-specific repression of gene expression in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. [1] It was first developed by Stanley Qi and colleagues in the laboratories of Wendell Lim , Adam Arkin, Jonathan Weissman , and Jennifer Doudna . [ 2 ]
