Characterization of a CRISPR/Cas9-based molecular recorder for HIV-1
HIV-SCRIBE is developed, a CRISPR-based molecular recorder in which a self-targeting guide RNA locus is placed under a Tat-responsive minimal HIV-1 5'LTR promoter, coupling Cas9-mediated cleavage and error-prone repair to Tat-driven transcriptional activation to generate a durable molecular record of HIV-1 reactivation and, more broadly, of cell-type-specific CRISPR editing dynamics.
