a Schematic illustration of the genomic architecture of CRISPR-Cas12b from Alicyclobacillus acidiphilus (NBRC 100859) (left) and the crRNA/tracrRNA duplex (right). b In vitro cleavage activity of AaCas12b at various temperatures. The cleavage rate is shown under the cleaved lanes. c In vitro validation of the PAM requirements of AaCas12b showing that PAMs matching the 5′-TTN sequence can be efficiently cleaved. The cleavage rate is shown under the cleaved lanes. d Cleavage site determination of AaCas12b by sequencing the cleavage products. The cleavage sites are indicated by red triangles in the left panel. TS target strand, NTS non-target strand
