Transposon end recognition and excision mechanisms of type I-F CRISPR-associated transposases

Abstract CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs) are Tn7-like elements that have co-opted RNA-guided CRISPR effectors for targeted DNA insertion. CASTs have been adapted as genome editing tools for programmable, site-specific integration. Among them, the type I-F system from Ps e u...
