Abstract
This disclosure provides compositions that include a polynucleotide including or encoding a Cas12a tracrRNA, and methods for their use in sequence-specific genome editing, especially of eukaryotic genomic sequences. In particular, this disclosure provides Cas12a tracrRNA-containing compositions and methods for their use in Cas12a-mediated editing of a target sequence, wherein the editing efficiency is increased in comparison to controls lacking the Cas12a tracrRNA.
