Overview

ArciTect™ T7 Endonuclease I is the preferred enzyme for detecting genome editing such as insertions or deletions (INDELs) generated by CRISPR-Cas9. ArciTect™ T7 Endonuclease I Kit is comprised of ArciTect™ T7 Endonuclease I and ArciTect™ T7 Endonuclease I Buffer (10X), which have been tested and validated for use with the ArciTect™ CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system. ArciTect™ T7 Endonuclease I recognizes and cleaves mismatched DNA, cruciform DNA structures, Holliday structures or junctions, heteroduplex DNA, and, less efficiently, nicked double-stranded DNA. Since the cleavage efficiency is proportional to the number of INDELs created at a specific DNA target, ArciTect™ T7 Endonuclease I Kit is used to estimate gene-editing efficiency in a rapid and cost-effective manner.
