Preferred Label : RNA, Guide, CRISPR-Cas Systems;
MeSH definition : A component of CRISPR-Cas SYSTEMS. Cas endodeoxyribonucleases assemble with a guide
RNA complex, a hybrid of CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and transactivating crRNA (tracrRNA) molecules,
to form an active complex that cleaves DNA. crRNA and tracrRNA can be synthetically
fused into a single RNA molecule, namely single guide RNA. Synthetic sgRNA is used
with CRISPR-Cas SYSTEMS for targeted GENE EDITING.;
MeSH synonym : Guide RNA (CRISPR-Cas Systems); Guide RNA, CRISPR-Cas Systems; Guide RNA, CRISPR Cas Systems; RNA, Guide (CRISPR-Cas Systems);
MeSH hyponym : Guide RNA, CRISPR; CRISPR Guide RNA; crRNA; Guide RNA, Single; sgRNA (Single-Guide RNA); CRISPR-Cas Systems sgRNA (Single Guide RNA); Single-Guide RNA; RNA, Single-Guide; Single Guide RNA; sgRNA (CRISPR-Cas Systems); tracrRNA; Transactivating crRNA;
MeSH annotation : do not confuse with RNA, GUIDE, KINETOPLASTIDA; do not confuse sgRNA (SINGLE-GUIDE
RNA) with sgRNA (SUBGENOMIC RNA);
Origin ID : D000094704;
UMLS CUI : C5690826;
