saCas9 Nuclease AAV Virus (AAV5)

This AAV vector expresses the Cas9 orthologue from Staphylococcus Aureus (saCas9). saCas9 is ~1 kb shorter than spCas9, allowing it to be efficiently packaged in AAV Virus. Furthermore, the saCas9 enzyme recognizes a longer PAM sequence than spCas9, and thus has greater editing specificity. AAV has low immunogenicity and broad host range, making it an ideal choice for both in vivo and in vitro applications. Use this saCas9-expressing AAV virus with a target-specific saCas9-compatible sgRNA for highly specific and efficient genome editing.
