Enhanced mammalian genome editing by new Cas12a orthologs with optimized crRNA scaffolds

Abstract CRISPR-Cas12a/Cpf1, a single RNA-guided endonuclease system, provides a promising tool for genome engineering. However, only three Cas12a orthologs have been employed for mammalian genome editing, and the editing efficiency as well as targeting coverage still requires improvements. Here, we...
