Scalable modulation of CRISPR‒Cas enzyme activity using photocleavable phosphorothioate DNA

Abstract The regulation of CRISPR‒Cas activity is critical for developing advanced biotechnologies. Optical control of CRISPR‒Cas system activity can be achieved by modulation of Cas proteins or guide RNA (gRNA), but these approaches either require complex protein engineering modifications or custom...
