Integration and exchange of split dCas9 domains for transcriptional controls in mammalian cells

Molecular engineering of Cas9 has the potential to expand the application of CRISPR-Cas technology. Here, Ma et al. show that dCas9 can be split and reconstituted in human cells and use a domain swapping strategy to engineer custom Cas9-based logic circuits and sensory switches.
