The sgRNA is formed by the fusion of crRNA and tracrRNA with engineered tetra loop structure (green). The sgRNA sequence consists of four different sequences, spacer (blue), crRNA repeat (brown), tetra loop (green) and tracrRNA (purple). It also has six structural secondary structure, spacer, lower stem, bulge, upper stem, nexus and hairpins.

CRISPR/Cas9 gene targeting requires a custom single guide RNA (sgRNA) that contains a targeting sequence (crRNA sequence) and a Cas9 nuclease-recruiting sequence (tracrRNA). The crRNA region (shown in red below) is a 20-nucleotide sequence that is homologous to a region in your gene of interest and will direct Cas9 nuclease activity.

The sgRNA comprising a pair of annealed oligos specifically targeting ztf-8 is cloned into the NotI- and BamHI-digested empty sgRNA vector (left) using Gibson assembly.

We report a detailed, robust, and streamlined protocol for CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, based on the widely used MoClo-Yeast Toolkit...

Guide RNA (gRNA) or single guide RNA (sgRNA) is a short sequence of RNA that functions as a guide for the Cas9-endonuclease or other Cas-proteins [1] that cut the double-stranded DNA and thereby can be used for gene editing. [2]

Engineered CRISPR systems contain two components: a guide RNA (gRNA or sgRNA) and a CRISPR-associated endonuclease (Cas enzyme). The gRNA is a short synthetic RNA composed of a scaffold sequence necessary for Cas-binding and a user-defined ∼20-nucleotide spacer that defines the genomic target to be modified.

We systematically assessed the DNA sequence features that contribute to single guide RNA (sgRNA) efficiency in CRISPR-based screens. Leveraging the information from multiple designs, we derived a new sequence model for predicting sgRNA efficiency in …

Jul 2, 2019 · Which is better, two-part (tracrRNA/crRNA) or single guide RNA (sgRNA)? Some reports have stated that single guide RNAs outperform two-part guide RNAs (tracrRNA and a crRNA) in most or all cases. Here, we compare the two types of guide RNA complexes directly.
