Scientists reveal functional RNA splitting mechanism behind origin of type V CRISPR systems

CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR RNA-guided cleavage. Type V CRISPR-Cas (Cas12) systems, in particular, serve as one of today’s most powerful tools for genome editing, especially in basic research, medicine, and agriculture.
