Fanzors are recently characterized RNA-guided DNA endonucleases found in eukaryotic organisms. In this issue of Cell, Xu, Saito et al. reveal the structural diversity of Fanzors and identify key features shared with TnpB and Cas12 proteins, providing a comprehensive perspective on their molecular function and evolution.
