Enhanced Cas12a multi-gene regulation using a CRISPR array separator

Jens P. Magnusson et al.

Summary: The study found that the V-A Cas12a protein is hypersensitive to the GC content of gRNA spacers in CRISPR arrays, where high-GC spacers can impair downstream gRNA activity. Inspired by naturally occurring CRISPR arrays, synthetic separators (synSeparators) were designed to successfully remove disruptive effects between gRNAs. This research provides new insights into improving multi-gene control in mammalian cells through nature-inspired engineering solutions.
