In some cases, the first segment comprises 8 nucleotides that have 100% complementarity to a sequence in the target DNA. Featuresįeatures of the present disclosure include a DNA-targeting RNA comprising: (i) a first segment comprising a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to a sequence in a target DNA and (ii) a second segment that interacts with a site-directed modifying polypeptide. The present disclosure provides genetically modified cells that produce Cas9 and Cas9 transgenic non-human multicellular organisms.

Kits and compositions for carrying out the methods are also provided. The present disclosure further provides methods of site-specific modification of a target DNA and/or a polypeptide associated with the target DNA The present disclosure provides methods of modulating transcription of a target nucleic acid in a target cell, generally involving contacting the target nucleic acid with an enzymatically inactive Cas9 polypeptide and a DNA-targeting RNA.

The present disclosure further provides site-specific modifying polypeptides. The present disclosure provides a DNA-targeting RNA that comprises a targeting sequence and, together with a modifying polypeptide, provides for site-specific modification of a target DNA and/or a polypeptide associated with the target DNA. In addition, there is a need in the art for methods of controlling gene expression with minimal off-target effects. There is need in the field for a technology that allows precise targeting of nuclease activity (or other protein activities) to distinct locations within a target DNA in a manner that does not require the design of a new protein for each new target sequence. For example, RNAi can exhibit significant off-target effects and toxicity. Currently the most common approach for targeting arbitrary genes for regulation is to use RNA interference (RNAi). The systematic interrogation of genomes and genetic reprogramming of cells involves targeting sets of genes for expression or repression. In addition, both technologies suffer from limited precision, which can lead to unpredictable off-target effects. However, targeting each new genomic locus requires the design of a novel nuclease enzyme, making these approaches both time consuming and costly.

Two major technologies for engineering site-specific DNA nucleases have emerged, both of which are based on the construction of chimeric endonuclease enzymes in which a sequence non-specific DNA endonuclease domain is fused to an engineered DNA binding domain. In recent years, engineered nuclease enzymes designed to target specific DNA sequences have attracted considerable attention as powerful tools for the genetic manipulation of cells and whole organisms, allowing targeted gene deletion, replacement and repair, as well as the insertion of exogenous sequences (transgenes) into the genome. Type II CRISPR system from Streptococcus pyogenes involves only a single gene encoding the Cas9 protein and two RNAs-a mature CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and a partially complementary trans-acting RNA (tracrRNA)-which are necessary and sufficient for RNA-guided silencing of foreign DNAs. BACKGROUNDĪbout 60% of bacteria and 90% of archaea possess CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) system systems to confer resistance to foreign DNA elements.
