Substrate interrogation of the CRISPR-Cas12a endonuclease reveals an unexpected functional plasticity Currently, Cas9 and Cas12a (also known as Cpf1) are the sole members of a large family of RNA-guided nucleases that ...

Homologous recombination (HR) is a ubiquitous cellular process that occurs in all three domains of life as well as in DNA and RNA viruses. In eukaryotes, HR is critically important for homology-directed DNA repair (HDDR) ...
