3. Cleave target DNA resulting in a double-strand break (DSB)
Cas9 and its variants have two endonuclease...positions the nuclease domains to cleave opposite strands of the target DNA. Thus, the end result of Cas9...arrays as found in the bacterial genomes are transcribed into pre-crRNAs containing both the spacer region...RNase III, the tracrRNA and Cas9, bind to these transcripts and C) cleave them leaving mature crRNAs bound...target DNA which is E) cleaved leaving a F) double-strand break. A “gRNA” is a researcher-designed hybrid...
