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

TLDR
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.

CRISPR: gene editing is just the beginning

Heidi Ledford
- 10 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: The phones have been ringing a lot since early 2013, when researchers first reported 1–3 that they had used the CRISPR– Cas9 system to slice the genome in human cells at sites of their choosing.

Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform

TL;DR: Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool (BWA) is implemented, a new read alignment package that is based on backward search with Burrows–Wheeler Transform (BWT), to efficiently align short sequencing reads against a large reference sequence such as the human genome, allowing mismatches and gaps.

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.
