Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides for engineering and optimization of systems, methods, and compositions for manipulation of sequences and/or activities of target sequences. Provided are vectors and vector systems, some of which encode one or more components of a CRISPR complex, as well as methods for the design and use of such vectors with additional functional domains. Also provided are methods of directing CRISPR complex formation in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells to ensure enhanced specificity for target recognition and avoidance of toxicity.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A non-naturally occurring or engineered composition for altering expression of at least one gene product comprising introducing into a eukaryotic cell containing a DNA molecule having a target sequence adjacent to a Protospacer Adjacent Motif (PAM) and encoding the gene product; said composition comprising one or more vectors encoding an engineered, non-naturally occurring Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR associated (C…
