Genome-wide quantification of ADAR adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing activity.

TL;DR: The Alu editing index (AEI) quantifies genome-wide editing in Alu repeats and allows comparison across samples, and is used to map global editing across a large dataset of healthy human samples and identify putative regulators of ADAR.

CRISPR-Cas13 Inhibitors Block RNA Editing in Bacteria and Mammalian Cells

TL;DR: Using integrated approaches to screen acrVI candidates and evaluate their effects on Cas13 function, a series of acrVIA1-7 genes that block the activities of Cas13a are discovered and may enable precise RNA editing in Cas13-based application and study of phage-bacterium interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functions and consequences of AID/APOBEC-mediated DNA and RNA deamination

TL;DR: Pecori et al. as discussed by the authors provide an overview of the AID/APOBEC cytidine deaminase family, discussing key structural features, how they contribute to viral and tumour evolution and how they can be harnessed for (potentially therapeutic) base-editing purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo repair of a protein underlying a neurological disorder by programmable RNA editing

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that programmable RNA editing can be utilized to repair mutations in mouse models of neurological disease and a guanosine-to-adenosine mutation in methyl CpG binding protein 2 RNA that causes Rett syndrome is successfully repaired.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing in neurological development and disease

TL;DR: Adenosine-to-inosine (A-toI) editing is one of the most prevalent post-transcriptional RNA modifications in metazoan as mentioned in this paper, which is catalysed by enzymes called adenosine deaminases acting on RNs.

The DNA Damage Response: Making It Safe to Play with Knives

TL;DR: This review will focus on how the DDR controls DNA repair and the phenotypic consequences of defects in these critical regulatory functions in mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-frequency off-target mutagenesis induced by CRISPR-Cas nucleases in human cells.

TL;DR: It is found that single and double mismatches are tolerated to varying degrees depending on their position along the guide RNA (gRNA)-DNA interface, and off-target cleavage of CRISPR-associated (Cas)9-based RGNs is characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI

CRISPR-Cas systems for editing, regulating and targeting genomes

TL;DR: A modified version of the CRISPR-Cas9 system has been developed to recruit heterologous domains that can regulate endogenous gene expression or label specific genomic loci in living cells, which will undoubtedly transform biological research and spur the development of novel molecular therapeutics for human disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A general method for the covalent labeling of fusion proteins with small molecules in vivo

TL;DR: A general method for the covalent labeling of fusion proteins in vivo that complements existing methods for noncovalentlabeling of proteins and that may open up new ways of studying proteins in living cells is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Playing the End Game: DNA Double-Strand Break Repair Pathway Choice

TL;DR: Recent insights are reviewed into the mechanisms that influence the choice between competing DSB repair pathways, how this is regulated during the cell cycle, and how imbalances in this equilibrium result in genome instability.
