CRISPR-Cas12b enables a highly efficient attack on HIV proviral DNA in T cell cultures

The novel endonuclease Cas12b was engineered for targeted genome editing in mammalian cells and is a promising tool for certain applications because of its small size, high sequence specificity and ability to generate relatively large deletions. We previously reported inhibition of the human immunod...

Sumario:The novel endonuclease Cas12b was engineered for targeted genome editing in mammalian cells and is a promising tool for certain applications because of its small size, high sequence specificity and ability to generate relatively large deletions. We previously reported inhibition of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in cell culture infections upon attack of the integrated viral DNA genome by spCas9 and Cas12a.
