Application of different types of CRISPR/Cas-based systems in bacteria

Abstract As important genome editing tools, CRISPR/Cas systems, especially those based on type II Cas9 and type V Cas12a, are widely used in genetic and metabolic engineering of bacteria. However, the intrinsic toxicity of Cas9 and Cas12a-mediated CRISPR/Cas tools can lead to cell death in some stra...
