CRISPR-Cas13 1 article
Rather than a branded system, CRISPR-Cas13 denotes an RNA-guided RNA-targeting system whose identity comes from RNA-guided RNA cleavage, Cas13 ribonuclease and programmable RNA targeting. In practice, those features are connected with CRISPR RNA-guided RNase, RNA knockdown and transcript-specific cleavage; a further biotechnology context is collateral RNase activity. Its boundary within genome engineering comes from the molecular role of Cas13 ribonuclease; related CRISPR systems, vectors and repair pathways remain distinct when their targets or mechanisms differ.
