CRISPR-Cas ribonucleoprotein mediated homology-directed repair for efficient targeted genome editing in microalgae Nannochloropsis oceanica IMET1.

TL;DR: It is shown that the delivery of Cas RNP by electroporation can be an alternative approach to the presently reported plasmid-based Cas9 method for generating mutants of N. oceanica and can be used for efficient generation of targeted mutants in Nannochloropsis sp.

Beyond Native Cas9: Manipulating Genomic Information and Function

TL;DR: The discovery of a variety of Cas9 orthologs and engineered variants enables high-fidelity genome editing and a wider selection of genomic targets, andCRISPR-mediated deaminases enable more precise and predictable genome editing compared with CRISPR nuclease-based editing.

MUSCLE: multiple sequence alignment with high accuracy and high throughput

TL;DR: MUSCLE is a new computer program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences that includes fast distance estimation using kmer counting, progressive alignment using a new profile function the authors call the log-expectation score, and refinement using tree-dependent restricted partitioning.
