Shifting the limits in wheat research and breeding using a fully annotated reference genome

Rudi Appels, +207 more
- 17 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: This annotated reference sequence of wheat is a resource that can now drive disruptive innovation in wheat improvement, as this community resource establishes the foundation for accelerating wheat research and application through improved understanding of wheat biology and genomics-assisted breeding.

Novel alleles of rice eIF4G generated by CRISPR/Cas9-targeted mutagenesis confer resistance to Rice tungro spherical virus.

TL;DR: The data suggest that eIF4G is essential for normal development, as alleles resulting in truncated eif4G could not be maintained in homozygous state, and the final products with RTSV resistance and enhanced yield under glasshouse conditions were found to no longer contain the Cas9 sequence.

A programmable dual-RNA-guided DNA endonuclease in adaptive bacterial immunity.

TL;DR: This study reveals a family of endonucleases that use dual-RNAs for site-specific DNA cleavage and highlights the potential to exploit the system for RNA-programmable genome editing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cpf1 is a single RNA-guided endonuclease of a class 2 CRISPR-Cas system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized Cpf1, a putative class 2 CRISPR effector, which is a single RNA-guided endonuclease lacking tracrRNA and utilizes a T-rich protospacer-adjacent motif.
Journal ArticleDOI

Programmable editing of a target base in genomic DNA without double-stranded DNA cleavage

TL;DR: E engineered fusions of CRISPR/Cas9 and a cytidine deaminase enzyme that retain the ability to be programmed with a guide RNA, do not induce dsDNA breaks, and mediate the direct conversion of cytidine to uridine, thereby effecting a C→T (or G→A) substitution.
Journal ArticleDOI

CRISPR-Mediated Modular RNA-Guided Regulation of Transcription in Eukaryotes

TL;DR: The results establish that the CRISPR system can be used as a modular and flexible DNA-binding platform for the recruitment of proteins to a target DNA sequence, revealing the potential of CRISpri as a general tool for the precise regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Double nicking by RNA-guided CRISPR Cas9 for enhanced genome editing specificity

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach that combines a Cas9 nickase mutant with paired guide RNAs to introduce targeted double-strand breaks is described. But the approach is limited to mouse zygotes.
