In 2015, Keith Joung’s lab performed a series of positive selection screens in bacteria...protein adapted for genome engineering was Cas12a (formerly Cpf1), a nuclease that generates double strand...strand breaks in target genes resulting in the formation of “sticky ends” rather than the blunt ends created...offer additional targeting flexibility. Cas13a (formerly C2c2) has been adapted for targeted RNA cleavage... an intrinsically high-fidelity genome-editing platform. Genome Biol 19: . https://doi.org/10.1186/s13059...
