The present disclosure provides CasX proteins, nucleic acids encoding the CasX proteins, and modified host cells comprising the CasX proteins and/or nucleic acids encoding same. CasX proteins are useful in a variety of applications, which are provided. The present disclosure provides CasX guide RNAs that bind to and provide sequence specificity to the CasX proteins, nucleic acids encoding the CasX guide RNAs, and modified host cells comprising the CasX guide RNAs and/or nucleic acids encoding same. CasX guide RNAs are useful in a variety of applications, which are provided. The present disclosure provides archaeal Cas9 polypeptides and nucleic acids encoding same, as well as their associated archaeal Cas9 guide RNAs and nucleic acids encoding same.

RNA-guided nucleic acid modifying enzymes and methods of use thereof

The present invention relates to a CRISPR-Cas based system for targeting nucleic acid sequences. In part, the invention relates to synthetic guiding components for targeting single-stranded sequences, as well as design principles for constructing such components. Also described herein are methods of employing such components, e.g., to repress or activate a desired target within the subject.
