The Double Nickase Plasmid features a U6 promoter for sgRNA expression, a 20 nt targeting sequence, and a gRNA scaffold to guide Cas9n. It includes a CBh promoter for Cas9n (D10A) and puromycin resistance, GFP for transfection verification, and nuclear localization signals (NLS). The 2A peptide allows co-expression of Cas9n and Puro from a single promoter, enabling precise genome editing with reduced off-target effects.

Cas9n Nickase gRNA Plasmid Targeting: Dual gRNA plasmids create single-strand nicks at precise DNA sequences for efficient genome editing using Cas9n Nickase.
This image illustrates the Cas9n Nickase mechanism used for precise genome editing. Two plasmids (Plasmid 1 and Plasmid 2) are shown, each containing a targeted DNA sequence. The system utilizes single-guide RNAs (sgRNA) to direct Cas9n Nickase to specific genomic locations, represented by the blue and pink DNA strands. The sgRNA scaffold aids in guiding Cas9n to the 20 nucleotide (nt) target sequence on the DNA. Cas9n makes single-strand cuts at NCC and NGG sites, enabling precise gene modifications without creating double-strand breaks.
