撰文丨王聪 编辑丨王多鱼 排版丨水成文 CRISPR-Cas9 被誉为"基因魔剪"，但其编辑效率在不同场景下差异巨大。为何有些 Cas9 变体能高效编 辑，而另一些却频频"失手"？ 近日， Molecular Cell 期刊发表了最新研究揭示了背后的核心机，这项由诺奖得主 Jennifer Doudna 教授 （博士后 史弘略 为论文第一作者 ） 领衔的研究，究揭示了广泛 PAM 识别与基因组编辑效率之间的基本 权衡，提出了高效的 RNA 引导的基因组编辑依赖于优化的两步靶标捕获过程，其中选择性但低亲和力的 PAM 结合优先于快速的 DNA 解旋。这不仅 解开了 CRISPR-Cas9 基因编辑效率密码，还为设计 更有效 的 CRISPR-Cas 及相关 RNA 引导的基因组编辑器奠定了基础。 这些发现也为长期以来关于 CRISPR-Cas9 基因编辑"是否要牺牲效率换取广谱性"的争议画上了句号。 Cas9 的"两步走"策略 就像快递员通过邮编和门牌号精准投递，Cas9 通过两步精准定位 DNA 靶点： 1、PAM识别 ：Cas9 首先识别目标 DNA 上的 PAM 序列 （例如 NGG） ，锁定目标区域； ...
