Transposon-Associated CRISPR-Cas System: A Powerful DNA Insertion Tool

The transposon-associated CRISPR-Cas system is emerging as a powerful tool for targeted genetic manipulation. Using this system, targeted genomic knockins and knockouts can be achieved, independently of the host-cell repair machinery, thereby significantly improving our ability to perform genome editing in a wider variety of cell types.
