Hi bro - what do you think about CRISPR-Cpf1? is this the Cas9 2.0?

There are a whole bunch of different CRISPR nucleases. From a variety of different organisms, with different Pam sequences and differing potential for off target cutting. Is Cpf1, better than Cas9? Good question. I don't know. It's certainly different a bit different but I don't know enough about it's advantages and disadvantage off the top of my head unfortunately.

Thanks for your opinion. I should cover CPF1 in one of my next articles. This is making some huge waves lately.
