1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a Cpf1 protein, wherein the nucleic acid sequence comprises a eukaryotic nucleic acid sequence that
a) is at least 17 nucleotides in length; and
b) comprises or is adjacent to a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) that is recognized by the Cpf1 protein,
wherein the Cpf1 comprises an amino acid insertion, relative to SEQ ID NO: 13, at a position selected from the group consisting of:
i) between amino acid positions 147 and 148;
ii) anywhere between amino acid positions 484 and 492,
iii) anywhere between amino acid positions 568 and 590,
iv) anywhere between amino acid positions 795 and 855,
v) anywhere between amino acid positions 1131 and 1140, and
vi) anywhere between amino acid positions 1160 and 1173, and
where the insertion relative to SEQ ID NO: 13 results in a Cpf1 protein having at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 13.
