Sigma-Aldrich® Cas9 proteins enable fast, cost-effective gene editing. They are compatible with our synthetic guide RNAs to form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes to target any genomic locus of interest. Each protein includes multiple nuclear localization signals and is effective when delivered by a variety of methods including microinjection, lipofection and electroporation. Merck's Cas9 proteins offer reliable efficient expression, high editing activity and high on-target specificity.
