Understanding the diversity of genetic outcomes from CRISPR-Cas generated homology-directed repair.

TL;DR: Brett Sansbury et al. show that a CRISPR-Cas complex that provides double-stranded cleavage combined with a mammalian cell-free extract can enhance non-homologous end joining and homology-directed repair and use the system to show the range of genetic outcomes of gene-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.
