1. An engineered, non-naturally occurring system comprisinga) a Cpf1 effector protein, andb) at least one engineered guide polynucleotide designed to form a complex with the Cpf1effector protein and comprising a guide sequence, wherein the guide sequence is designed to hybridize with a target sequence in a eukaryotic cell;
- andwherein the system lacks a tracr sequence, the engineered guide polynucleotide and Cpf1 effector protein do not naturally occur together, and a complex of the engineered guide polynucleotide and Cpf1 effector protein does not naturally occur.
