Project description:We report the PAMs of AsCas12a using a cell-free TXTL-based cleavage assay. By adding randomized PAM library and AsCas12a-gRNA in vitro, functional PAM sequences were cleaved, while non-functional PAMs remained. By amplifying the non-cleaved DNA, we use next-generation sequencing to analyze the depletion of functional PAMs of AsCas12a.
Project description:We report the PAMs of NmeCas9 using a cell-free TXTL-based cleavage assay. By adding randomized PAM library and NmeCas9-gRNA in vitro, functional PAM sequences were cleaved, while non-functional PAMs remained. By amplifying the non-cleaved DNA, we use next-generation sequencing to analyze the depletion of functional PAMs of NmeCas9.
Project description:We report the PAMs of phylogenetically-diverse Cas12a nucleases using a cell-free TXTL-based PAM screen. By adding a 5N randomized PAM library and Cas12a-gRNA in vitro, recognized PAM sequences were cleaved, while non-recognized PAMs remained. By amplifying the non-cleaved DNA, we used next-generation sequencing to analyze the depletion of functional PAMs of these Cas12a nucleases.
