Engineered Cpf1 variants with altered PAM specificities

TL;DR: A structure-guided mutagenesis screen to increase the targeting range of Cpf1 by approximately threefold in human coding sequences to one cleavage site per ∼11 bp and introduces the identified PAM-interacting mutations at their corresponding positions in LbCpf 1, which altered its PAM specificity.

Muscle-specific CRISPR/Cas9 dystrophin gene editing ameliorates pathophysiology in a mouse model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that AAV-mediated muscle-specific gene editing has significant potential for therapy of neuromuscular disorders and systemic administration of the vectors results in widespread expression of dystrophin in both skeletal and cardiac muscles.

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.
