Project

Our project is our story.

Paired dCas9 reporter

It is well known that CRISPR/dCas9 has a unique ability to be programmed to bind any sequence with the assistance of sgRNA; it was conventionally used for DNA editing or genome study. In our project, however, we integrate split reporters into CRISPR/Cas9 by translationally fusing two fragments of a split reporter to dCas9, respectively, to convert the sequence-specific information of pathogenic bacteria's genome (in our case, M. tuberculosis) into easily readable signal including bioluminescence or pigment. We demonstrated that the PC reporter is highly compatible with NAD-based diagnosis using isolated genomic DNA of MTB.
