Determination of local chromatin interactions using a combined CRISPR and peroxidase APEX2 system

TL;DR: It was shown that with specific small-guide RNA targets, CAPLOCUS could efficiently identify both repetitive genomic regions and single-copy genomic locus with high resolution and may be a useful approach for studying local interacting molecules at any given chromosomal location.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo locus-specific editing of the neuroepigenome

TL;DR: Recent efforts in using locus-specific neuroepigenome editing in vivo to define causal relationships between a single chromatin modification at a specific gene in a defined cell population and downstream measures at the molecular, cellular, circuit and behavioural levels are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repurposing type I-F CRISPR-Cas system as a transcriptional activation tool in human cells.

TL;DR: The authors modify the Type I–F CRISPR–Cas system for transcriptional activation of gene expression by fusing transcription activation domain to Pseudomonas aeruginosa type I-F Cas proteins and achieving multiplexed gene activation with a crRNA array.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pooled extracellular receptor-ligand interaction screening using CRISPR activation

TL;DR: A cell-based genome-wide approach employing CRISPR activation to identify receptors for a defined ligand to enable extracellular receptor-ligand identification on a genome- wide scale is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineering species-like barriers to sexual reproduction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the ACT1 promoter of the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a dCas9-based transcriptional activator was targeted to construct a "species-like" barrier to reproduction between two otherwise compatible populations.

Fast gapped-read alignment with Bowtie 2

TL;DR: Bowtie 2 combines the strengths of the full-text minute index with the flexibility and speed of hardware-accelerated dynamic programming algorithms to achieve a combination of high speed, sensitivity and accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

RSEM: accurate transcript quantification from RNA-Seq data with or without a reference genome

TL;DR: It is shown that accurate gene-level abundance estimates are best obtained with large numbers of short single-end reads, and estimates of the relative frequencies of isoforms within single genes may be improved through the use of paired- end reads, depending on the number of possible splice forms for each gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

A programmable dual-RNA-guided DNA endonuclease in adaptive bacterial immunity.

TL;DR: This study reveals a family of endonucleases that use dual-RNAs for site-specific DNA cleavage and highlights the potential to exploit the system for RNA-programmable genome editing.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia enables predictive modelling of anticancer drug sensitivity

TL;DR: The results indicate that large, annotated cell-line collections may help to enable preclinical stratification schemata for anticancer agents and the generation of genetic predictions of drug response in the preclinical setting and their incorporation into cancer clinical trial design could speed the emergence of ‘personalized’ therapeutic regimens.

Molecular signatures database (MSigDB) 3.0

TL;DR: A new version of the database, MSigDB 3.0, is reported, with over 6700 gene sets, a complete revision of the collection of canonical pathways and experimental signatures from publications, enhanced annotations and upgrades to the web site.
