Abstract
CRISPR-Cas14a is a highly compact protein with great potential to be used as a guided genome editing tool for single-stranded (ss) DNA cleavage. Recently isolated from noncultured archaea, its unrestricted and sequence-independent cleavage makes it an ideal tool for engineering resistance against economically important plant ssDNA viruses.
