Comparison and optimization of CRISPR/dCas9/gRNA genome-labeling systems for live cell imaging

Abstract CRISPR/dCas9 binds precisely to defined genomic sequences through targeting of guide RNA (gRNA) sequences. In vivo imaging of genomic loci can be achieved by recruiting fluorescent proteins using either dCas9 or gRNA. We thoroughly validate and compare the effectiveness and specificity of s...
