DNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas systems, such as those employing the RNA-guided Cas9 or Cas12 endonucleases, have revolutionized our ability to predictably edit genomes and control gene expression. Here, I summarize information on RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas systems and describe recent advances in converting them into powerful and programmable RNA-binding and cleavage tools with a wide range of novel and important biotechnological and biomedical applications.
DNA 靶向 CRISPR-Cas 系统,如使用 RNA 指导的 Cas9 或 Cas12 内切酶的系统,彻底改变了我们可预测地编辑基因组和控制基因表达的能力。在这里,我总结了 RNA 靶向 CRISPR-Cas 系统的信息,并描述了最近将其转化为强大且可编程的 RNA 结合和切割工具的进展,这些工具具有广泛的新型和重要的生物技术和生物医学应用。
