Abstract

We for the first time report that the activated CRISPR-Cas12a system trans-cleaves DNA G-quadruplexes (G4). The cleavage activity on human telomere G4 and TBA G4 was investigated and verified by FRET, CD, gel electrophoresis and NMR. We believe that this finding will pave a new avenue for advancing the applications of CRISPR-Cas12a and G4 in biosensing and biochemistry.
