Our paper on Cas13 mechanism and RNA segment editing is online! Thanks to @Alf_Castello for XRN1 KO cells and @hkusbms @hkumed for support! Please check @KaiChing123's summary for details.
(1/6) We are so excited to share our latest work on CRISPR-Cas13 in @NatureComms!
We unveiled the cleavage mechanism of Cas13 and established the RNA Segment Editing (RSE), a targeted RNA cleavage and repair tool.
