Introduction
Our construct contains the standardized version of Cas9 linked to PIF6. This device is one of two parts that you need to enable red-light induced gene targeting. Cotransfection of a PhyB+effector device, and target RNA allows you to recruit any desired effector to your desired Gene locus. Illumination with red light (660nm) will start the interaction and illumination with far red light (740nm) will stop the interaction. The Cas9-version used here is human codon optimized and the mutated version, unable to cleave DNA. PIF6 is human codon-ptimized.
