BigField GEG Tech's insight:
Over the past few years, intensive studies have provided an atomic view of the crRNA-guided target interference mechanisms in different types of CRISPR-Cas systems. Here, the authors review the recent progress toward structural and mechanistic understanding of the diverse crRNP effector nucleases.
