Enjoy this video which details KLIPP, a “split enzyme” system pioneered by Center for RNA Biomedicine co-director, Mats Ljungman, Ph.D. During the KLIPP process, two non-functional Cas9 enzymes fused to Fok1 enzymes are brought together by a pair of guide RNAs. These guide RNAs specifically target sequences near structural variant junctions unique to cancer cells….
