摘要: Genome editing allows scientists to change an organism's DNA. One promising genome protocol, already validated in living organisms, is based on clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas protein-nucleic acid complexes. When the CRISPR/Cas approach was first demonstrated 2012, its advantages with respect previously available techniques, such as zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector (TALENs), immediately got attention method has seen a surge of experimental computational investigations since then. However, molecular mechanisms involved target DNA recognition cleavage are still not completely resolved need further attention. The large size complex nature CRISPR/Cas9 complexes been challenge for studies, but some seed results exist illuminating activity. In this review, we present recent progress studying systems by dynamics simulations coarse-grained atomistic descriptions, including enhanced sampling.
