Journal ArticleDOI
lncRNA-Induced Spread of Polycomb Controlled by Genome Architecture, RNA Abundance, and CpG Island DNA.
Megan D. Schertzer,Keean C.A. Braceros,Joshua Starmer,Rachel E Cherney,David M Lee,Gabriela Salazar,Megan Justice,Steven R. Bischoff,Dale O. Cowley,Pablo Ariel,Mark J. Zylka,Jill M. Dowen,Terry Magnuson,J. Mauro Calabrese +13 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that CGIs that autonomously recruit PRCs interact with lncRNAs and their associated proteins through three-dimensional space to nucleate the spread of PRCs in lncRNA-targeted domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
A piggyBac-based toolkit for inducible genome editing in mammalian cells.
Megan D. Schertzer,Eliza Thulson,Keean C.A. Braceros,David M Lee,Emma R Hinkle,Ryan M. Murphy,Susan O Kim,Eva C.M. Vitucci,J. Mauro Calabrese +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that CRISPR-Bac can be used to knock down proteins of interest, to create targeted genetic deletions with high efficiency, and to activate or repress transcription of protein-coding genes and an imprinted long noncoding RNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The control of polycomb repressive complexes by long noncoding RNAs.
Jackson B. Trotman,Keean C.A. Braceros,Rachel E Cherney,McKenzie M. Murvin,J. Mauro Calabrese +4 more
TL;DR: The polycomb repressive complexes 1 and 2 (PRCs; PRC1 and PRC2) are conserved histone-modifying enzymes that often function cooperatively to repress gene expression as discussed by the authors.
