Trans-Nuclease Activity of Cas9 Activated by DNA or RNA Target Binding
In this study, we demonstrated that another type of Type II CRISPR-Cas system—the II type Cas9 system—also possesses “trans-cleavage” activity. This activity is guided by crRNA and tracrRNA and is activated via the binding of DNA or RNA targets. By combining the trans-cleavage activity of the Cas9 effector nuclease with nucleic acid amplification t...
