Synthetic Biology Speeds Up Drug Target Discovery.

TL;DR: Synthetic biology works well in association with the CRISPR system for drug target functional screening and more and more well-designed circuits are developed to discover novel drug targets and precisely regulate drug therapy for diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimization of lentiviral transduction parameters and its application for CRISPR-based secretome modification of human endometrial mesenchymal stem cells.

TL;DR: The present study aimed to optimize hMESCs transduction parameters and apply Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 technology for genome and secretome modification and found that the use of Ps for hM ESCs genetic manipulations is preferable, as it has no impact on the stem-cell properties, whereas Pb application is undesirable.

Characterization of Cas9–Guide RNA Orthologs

TL;DR: The value of orthogonal Cas9-gRNA pairings that allow for concurrent activation and editing at independent target sites in the same cell are described and considerations for the desired specificity inCas9-coupled functions are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

CRISPR-Cpf1 Activation of Endogenous BMP4 Gene for Osteogenic Differentiation of Umbilical-Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

TL;DR: It is observed that the CRISPR-dAsCpf1-VPR activator can be applied to enhance the osteogenic differentiation of human UC-MSCs, via increasing the expression level of endogenous BMP4 gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

CRISPR-engineered genome editing for the next generation neurological disease modeling.

TL;DR: Recent progress of CRISPR‐based brain disease modeling studies are reviewed and future requirement to tackle current difficulties in usage of these technologies are discussed.

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.
