Zero in on your target gene

Optimize CRISPR efficiency with real-time DNA binding insights.

CRISPR Workflow Challenge: DNA Binding

When using CRISPR for gene editing, how can you know that your ribonucleoprotein (RNP) design will bind to your target gene accurately and consistently? Small mismatches between gRNA and gene sequence or differences in Cas protein binding properties can make all the difference in your CRISPR editing experiments. Even among gRNAs designed for the same gene, binding efficiencies can vary. Using extensive cell-based assays to measure the results of your edits however, limits your ability to make rapid optimizations.
