Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting DNA Double-Strand Breaks with TAL Effector Nucleases

TL;DR: A new class of sequence-specific nucleases created by fusing transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) to the catalytic domain of the FokI endonuclease is reported.
Book ChapterDOI

Genome engineering using CRISPR-Cas9 system.

TL;DR: This chapter presents all relevant methods including the initial site selection, molecular cloning, delivery of guide RNAs and Cas9 into mammalian cells, verification of target cleavage, and assays for detecting genomic modification including indels and homologous recombination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk

Georg Ehret, +391 more
- 06 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: A genetic risk score based on 29 genome-wide significant variants was associated with hypertension, left ventricular wall thickness, stroke and coronary artery disease, but not kidney disease or kidney function, and these findings suggest potential novel therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention.

In vivo genome editing using Staphylococcus aureus Cas9

TL;DR: In this paper, the RNA-guided endonuclease Cas9 has emerged as a versatile genome-editing platform and has been used for basic research and therapeutic applications that use the highly versatile adeno-associated virus (AAV) delivery vehicle.
