CRISPR: dCas9-FokI


A catalytically inactive Cas9 (dCas9) is fused to FokI nuclease. When FokI dimerizes, it generates a double-strand break (DSB) at a specific sequence. Two unique gRNAs, binding ~15-25 bp apart, are required for dCas9-FokI to dimerize at a given region of the genome. Like nickase technology, this technique reduces unwanted off-target effects of CRISPR.
