TL;DR: It is found that single and double mismatches are tolerated to varying degrees depending on their position along the guide RNA (gRNA)-DNA interface, and off-target cleavage of CRISPR-associated (Cas)9-based RGNs is characterized.

TL;DR: It is shown that the CRISPR-Cas system functions in vivo to induce targeted genetic modifications in zebrafish embryos with efficiencies similar to those obtained using zinc finger nucleases and transcription activator-like effector nucleases.

TL;DR: It is reported that common cationic lipid nucleic acid transfection reagents can potently deliver proteins that are fused to negatively supercharged proteins, that contain natural anionic domains or that natively bind to anionic nucleic acids.

TL;DR: This proof-of-principle work shows that clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas systems can target heterologous effector domains to endogenous sites in human cells.

TL;DR: OP (Oligomerized Pool ENgineering), a rapid, publicly available strategy for constructing multifinger arrays, which is more effective than the previously published modular assembly method and provides an "open-source" method for rapidly engineering highly active zinc-finger arrays.
