== 'What we did

Cas9 is an RNA-guided double-stranded DNA endonuclease, which belongs to the type II bacterial CRISPR system , from Streptococcus pyogenes. It has two domains, RuvC and HNH, each of which cleaves one strand within the target DNA. Here we use dCas9(“dead” Cas9) ,in which mutations of D10A and H840A were introduced to abolish the endonuclease function.
