CRISPR/Cas9 Inhibits Multiple Steps of HIV-1 Infection.

TL;DR: The results suggest that Cas9/gRNA is able to target and edit HIV-1 DNA both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus, and the inhibitory effect of Cas9 on HIV- 1 is attributed to both the indels in viral DNA and the reduction in the levels of viral DNA.

Reversible Disruption of Specific Transcription Factor-DNA Interactions Using CRISPR/Cas9

TL;DR: Deactivated Cas9 (dCas9) is used to disrupt binding to specific sites, a method the authors term CRISPRd since CRISpr guide RNAs are longer than transcription factor binding sites, and flanking sequence can be used to target specific sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

LncRNAs in vertebrates: advances and challenges.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the emerging understanding of lncRNAs in vertebrate animals, highlighting some recent advances in their functional analyses across several species and emphasizing the current challenges researchers face to characterize lnc RNAs and identify their in vivo functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

CRISPR/Cas9: the Jedi against the dark empire of diseases

TL;DR: In this review, an insight is provided about the recent developments using CRISPR/Cas9 against various diseases with respect to disease modeling and treatment, and what future perspectives should be noted while using this technology.

High-throughput discovery and characterization of human transcriptional effectors

TL;DR: The HT-recruit as discussed by the authors is a pooled assay where protein libraries are recruited to a reporter, and their transcriptional effects are measured by sequencing, using this approach, they measure gene silencing and activation for thousands of domains.

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.

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.
