Abstract A PCR-independent in vitro site-directed mutagenesis method was established. Cas12a from Francisella novicida (FnCas12a) linearizes the plasmid with single digestion. T5 exonuclease removes the target nucleotide. A short single- or double-stranded mutagenic oligonucleotide introduces the mutation. This rapid and simple mutagenesis method is referred to as FnCas12a and T5 exonuclease mediated site-directed mutagenesis system (CT5-SDM). The platform is also suitable for the mutagenesis of plasmids larger than 10 kb. Key Points Site-directed mutagenesis mediated by single-stranded DNA. Removing target site with T5 exonuclease. Highly efficient cleavage of target DNA with FnCas12a.
