Abstract
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-Cas systems are an acquired and adaptive immune system of archaea and bacteria. By using a small guide RNA (sgRNA) and a single protein or a cascade of proteins they are able to target and degrade exogenous DNA or RNA. This bacterial defence system since has been studied extensively, which has lead to several key discoveries enabling its use as a programmable molecular tool. CRISPR-Cas systems allow scientists to perform insertions, deletions and translocations with high target specificity. With modified Cas proteins, several more tools have been developed that allow control of gene expression or visualization of chromosomes. In this review the possible tools and applications of CRISPR-Cas in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes are shown and discussed.
