Enhanced Cas12a editing in mammalian cells and zebrafish

TL;DR: Improvements to the Cas12a system are described that facilitate efficient targeted mutagenesis in mammalian cells and zebrafish embryos and that modified crRNAs comprising a full-length direct repeat sequence with specific stem-loop G-C base substitutions exhibit increased editing efficiencies.

The CRISPR/Cas revolution reaches the RNA world: Cas13, a new Swiss Army knife for plant biologists.

TL;DR: The latest experiments with the nuclease Cas13a and also the alternative Cas13b system demonstrate that these proteins can be used in a similar manner in eukaryotes for RNA manipulation as Cas9 and Cas12 for DNA manipulations.

Uracil-Mediated New Photospacer-Adjacent Motif of Cas12a To Realize Visualized DNA Detection at the Single-Copy Level Free from Contamination.

TL;DR: It is found Cas12a can also recognize another PAM sequence of UUUN resulting in activation of its ssDNA collateral cleavage effect and this new finding would help to better understand the mechanism of Cas 12a and expand its application.

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.
