Biochemical reconstitution of a type I-B CRISPR-associated transposon.
CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs) are potential gene editing tools because of their RNA-guided DNA insertion activity. It is essential to understand the mechanisms underlying the transposition for the application of CASTs. Here, we provide protocols for the biochemical reconstitution of a type I-B CAST for RNA-guided transposition. The procedures may be applicable to other types of CASTs and facilitate the mechanism studies of various CASTs.
