photoactivatable CRISPR/Cas9 system
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
The photoactivatable CRISPR/Cas9 system is a light-gated genome-editing configuration comprising Cas9, either a synthetic 102-nt sgRNA or a crRNA/tracrRNA pair, and blocking photocleavable oligodeoxyribonucleotides. UV irradiation in the presence of the photomodified blocking oligodeoxyribonucleotides enables photoactivatable gene editing in vitro.
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
This system is useful for imposing optical control over CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing by keeping the guide RNA functionally blocked until UV exposure. The available evidence supports in vitro light-triggered activation, but does not further quantify performance or application scope.
Source:
It has been shown that UV irradiation of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in the presence of photomodified blocking oligodeoxyribonucleotides can result in photoactivatable gene editing in vitro.
Problem solved
It addresses the problem of making CRISPR/Cas9 editing conditional on an external light input rather than constitutively active once Cas9 and guide RNA are present. The reported design uses blocking photocleavable oligodeoxyribonucleotides to gate editing until UV irradiation.

Implementation Constraints
The reported components are Cas9 protein, either a synthetic 102-nt sgRNA or a guide crRNA/tracrRNA pair, and blocking photocleavable oligodeoxyribonucleotides. Activation requires UV irradiation, but the supplied evidence does not specify wavelength, dose, delivery method, or construct stoichiometry.
The evidence provided is limited to design description and an in vitro functional claim under UV irradiation. No quantitative editing efficiencies, target loci, cell-based validation, organismal use, off-target analysis, or independent replication are described in the supplied evidence.
