RNA-DIRECTED DNA CLEAVAGE AND GENE EDITING BY CAS9 ENZYME FROM NEISSERIA MENINGITIDIS

摘要

Disclosed are components and methods for RNA-directed DNA cleavage and gene editing. The components include and the methods utilize a Cas9 protein from Neisseria and one or more RNA molecules in order to direct the Cas9 protein to bind to and optionally cleave or nick a target sequence.
