CRISPR-mediated activation of endogenous BST-2/tetherin expression inhibits wild-type HIV-1 production.

TL;DR: The effect of the CRISPR-mediated pinpoint activation of endogenous expression of BST-2, a virus restriction factor with a broad antiviral spectrum, is shown, confirming that the physiological stoichiometry between host restriction factors and viral antagonists may determine the outcome of the battle with viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

What rheumatologists need to know about CRISPR/Cas9

TL;DR: The application of CRISPR/Cas9 for creating gene mutations — the application that initiated the current avalanche of interest — and new developments that have largely answered initial concerns about its specificity and ability to introduce new gene sequences are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long Non-coding RNAs as Local Regulators of Pancreatic Islet Transcription Factor Genes

TL;DR: It is proposed that cis-regulatory lncRNAs could represent a molecular target for modulation of diabetes-relevant genes and discuss challenges involved in using genetic perturbations to define their function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome editing in pluripotent stem cells: research and therapeutic applications.

TL;DR: An overview of the available genome editing systems is provided and opportunities and perspectives for their application in basic research and clinical practice are discussed, with a particular focus on hPSC based research and gene therapy approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prediction and diversity of tracrRNAs from type II CRISPR-Cas systems.

TL;DR: A new bioinformatic tool to predict tracrRNAs is developed that achieved a high sensitivity and specificity, and a low false discovery rate (FDR) on genome analysis, and will assist in the design of further engineered CRISPR-Cas9 systems.

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.
