Deskripsi

Direct cloning of biosynthetic gene clusters is difficult due to their size and repetitive nature. Here, the authors present CAPTURE, which uses Cas12a and in vivo Cre-lox recombination for efficient cloning of gene clusters up to 113 kb, and demonstrate how this method can be used for large-scale discovery of novel natural products.
