TL;DR: This work demonstrates that the pattern of DNA repair following Cas9 cutting at each site is nonrandom and consistent across experimental replicates, cell lines, and reagent delivery methods, and elucidates a strategy for using "error-prone" DNA-repair machinery to generate precise edits.

TL;DR: This work developed a biochemical method (SITE-Seq), using Cas9 programmed with single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs), to identify the sequence of cut sites within genomic DNA, and found that the number of sites identified depended on sgRNA sequence and nuclease concentration.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors showed that the reactivity of (2,6MeBIP)FeOCH2C(CH3)3 with Sar-NCA was combined with its known reactivity for ε-caprolactone polymerization to form diblock and triblock copoly(ester-b-peptides) through sequential addition of lactone and NCA monomers.

TL;DR: Oligonucleotide mapping via liquid chromatography with UV detection coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-UV-MS/MS) was recently developed to support development of Comirnaty, the world's first commercial mRNA vaccine which immunizes against the SARS-CoV-2 virus as discussed by the authors .
