Overview

Cas12a (Cpf1) is a novel CRISPR-Cas DNA endonuclease that, like Cas9, can be used to create double-stranded breaks in DNA. Cas12a offers several advantages over Cas9 that expand its utility in gene editing applications:

  • Expanded editing scope: Cas12a recognizes T-rich PAM sequences, enabling genome editing in species with AT-rich genomes such as zebrafish, etc.
  • Enhanced editing efficiency: In contrast to the blunt ends created by Cas9, Cas12a produces staggered sticky ends at the 5' end, resulting in improved homology-directed repair (HDR) and gene editing efficiency.
  • Shorter gRNA: Cas12a crRNA is around 40-44nt, including a constant region of 20nt and a specificity-binding region of 20-24nt. Also, the crRNA does not require the use of a tracrRNA, making chemical synthesis simpler and more economical.

Leveraging over 21 years of oligonucleotide synthesis experience, GenScript offers customized Cas12a crRNA, supporting AsCas12a/LbCas12a and various customized Cas12 crRNA options, with high purity, precise molecular weight, and proven high efficiency in gene knock-out/knock-in.
