Cas9: As a Transcriptional Activator
PreviousIn this technical animation, Wyss Institute researchers instruct how they engineered a Cas9 protein to create a powerful and robust tool for activating gene expression. The novel method enables Cas9 to switch a gene from off to on and has the potential to precisely induce on-command expression of any of the countless genes in the genomes of yeast, flies, mice, or humans.
