Crystal Structure of Cas9 in Complex with Guide RNA and Target DNA

TL;DR: The crystal structure of Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 in complex with sgRNA and its target DNA at 2.5 Å resolution and accompanying functional analyses have revealed the molecular mechanism of RNA-guided DNA targeting by Cas9, paving the way for the rational design of new, versatile genome-editing technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA targeting with CRISPR-Cas13.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the class 2 type VI RNA-guided RNA-targeting CRISPR–Cas effector Cas13a (previously known as C2c2) can be engineered for mammalian cell RNA knockdown and binding and is established as a flexible platform for studying RNA in mammalian cells and therapeutic development.

Neural substrates of awakening probed with optogenetic control of hypocretin neurons

TL;DR: It is found that direct, selective, optogenetic photostimulation of Hcrt neurons increased the probability of transition to wakefulness from either slow wave sleep or rapid eye movement sleep.
