Argonaute genome editor. Cartoon of the Argonaute protein isolated from Natronobacterium gregoryi (NgAgo) drawn in complex with its ssDNA cursor and its double-stranded DNA target. Specificity is achieved by a DNA:DNA complex. The Ago protein induces double-stranded breaks at yet-unclear positions (shown as question marks) and using an uncertain enzymatic mechanism.4
