   What RNA-targeting systems did Zhang develop?

   • The Zhang lab also developed RNA-targeting systems, including C2c2 (since renamed Cas13a) and Group 29 (since renamed Cas13b). These RNA-targeting systems have been engineered by Zhang for precision RNA and base editing, which would avoid making heritable alterations to the genome.
