Summary:Provided are compositions and methods for cleaving a DNA sequence in a cell. The methods involve comprising introducing into a cell a recombinant vector containing a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system. The system includes a CRISPR RNA (crRNA) targeted to a DNA sequence in the cell that is operatively linked to a promoter; and CRISPR-associated enzymes (Cas) 10, Cas6, and at least one Csm protein. The Cas 10 cleaves the DNA sequence only during transcription of the DNA sequence that is operatively linked to the promoter. Also provided are recombinant vectors for modifying cells, cells that contain the recombinant vectors and modifications introduced by them, and kits that include the modified vectors.
