  • Patent number: 11667917
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for genome editing using a CRISPR/Cpf1 system and a use thereof and, more particularly, to a composition for genome editing comprising: a CRISPR RNA (crRNA) including a guide sequence capable of hybridizing with a target nucleotide sequence, and a uridine repeat sequence connected to the 3?-end of the guide sequence, or a DNA encoding the same; and a Cpf1 protein or a DNA encoding the same, a method for genome editing using the same, a method for construction of a genetically modified organism, and a genetically modified organism. The present invention can increase an indel efficiency and decrease off-target activity in genome editing of eukaryotic cells using the CRIPSPR/Cpf1 system and thus can easily construct a genetically modified cell or genetically modified animal or plant having a desired gene inserted thereinto (knock-in) or deleted therefrom (knock-out).

  • Publication number: 20220307018
    Abstract: Provided are an engineered CRISPR/Cas12f1 system of which editing efficiency is improved compared to a canonical CRISPR/Cas12f1 system, and a use thereof. A U-rich tail sequence in crRNA is provided that can be introduced into an original guide RNA to improve the editing efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas12f1 system. The U-rich tail sequence has abundant uridine residues at the 3?-ternimus of crRNA, and may further include additional nucleic acids in addition to uridine depending on the environment in which the guide RNA is actually used and the environment in which the guide RNA is expressed. The inventors of the present application described the structure of the U-rich tail sequence, the position of introduction, and the effect thereof with respect to genome editing efficiency.
