The CRISPR-Cas13b system is a recently identified Class 2, RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas system. The system has been repurposed to achieve robust mRNA knockdown and precise RNA-editing in mammalian cells. While the CRISPR-Cas13b system has become a powerful tool for nucleic acids manipulation, the mechanisms of the system are still not fully understood. Cas13b endonucleases from different bacterial species show poor overall sequence homologies, suggesting that structural (and probably functional) diversities may exist. It is therefore impo
