This application presents a gRNA probe
library, its preparation and
design methods, a method for targeting genes, and a
nucleic acid imaging method. This application combines gRNA probes containing modified groups with nucleases, enabling dynamic observation of
DNA and
RNA by binding to target genomic sequences or
RNA transcripts in living cells. By utilizing fluorescently labeled crRNAs, tracrRNAs, and sgRNAs, this application achieves real-time imaging of repetitive and non-repetitive sites, establishing a powerful
gene imaging toolkit. Furthermore, the gRNA probe
library prepared in this application will be applied to
CRISPR systems for
gene editing,
transcriptional regulation,
gene targeting, and delivery.
