The CRISPR-associated endonuclease [[Cas9]] has been exploited for use in genome editing systems. In such systems, an engineered single-guide RNA (sgRNA) is used to target double-stranded breaks in genomic DNA. Depending on what repair pathway is triggered, often dictated by the inclusion of additional engineered components, the targeted site either is disrupted or incorporates additional genetic sequences. | The CRISPR-associated endonuclease [[Cas9]] has been exploited for use in genome editing systems.
