Towards CRISPR/Cas crops - bringing together genomics and genome editing.

TL;DR: It is argued that overcoming technical and social barriers to the application of genome editing will allow this technology to produce a new generation of high-yielding, climate ready crops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Massively parallel Cas13 screens reveal principles for guide RNA design

TL;DR: It is shown that Cas13 can be used in forward transcriptomic pooled screens and predicted optimized Cas13 gRNAs for all protein-coding transcripts in the human genome by computational modeling of large-scale screening data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Writing of H3K4Me3 overcomes epigenetic silencing in a sustained but context-dependent manner

TL;DR: This work demonstrates sustained gene re-expression using two types of engineered DNA-binding domains fused to a H3K4 methyltransferase to uncover potent epigenetic modifications to be directly written onto genomic loci to stably activate any given gene.

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.

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.
