Key findings

  • Characterized and engineered AsCas12f1 (422aa) as functional genome editor in bacteria and human cells using plasmid, ribonucleoprotein, and AAV delivery. Demonstrated T-rich PAM specificity and established AsCas12f1 as effective tool for applications requiring compact size for viral delivery.
