Team:Freiburg
From 2013.igem.org
Our Team developed a universal toolkit, termed uniCAS, that enables customizable gene
regulation in mammalian cells. Therefore, we engineered the recently discovered and highly promising
CRISPR/Cas9 system.
The regulation is based on the RNA-guided Cas9 protein, which allows targeting of specific DNA sequences.
Our toolkit comprises not only a standardized Cas9 protein, but also different effector domains for
efficient gene activation or repression.
