Aptazyme-embedded guide RNAs enable ligand-responsive genome editing and transcriptional activation

CRISPR-Cas9 is a powerful technique for manipulating the human genome, however temporal and spatial control of activity would facilitate safer, more selective use. Here the authors incorporate aptazymes into guide RNAs to allow small molecule activation of CRISPR-Cas9.
