Interrogation of enhancer function by enhancer-targeting CRISPR epigenetic editing.

TL;DR: Improved CRISPR/dCas9-based enhancer-targeting epigenetic editing systems are described, showing more robust perturbations of enhancer activity and gene transcription with minimal off-targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assembly of CRISPR ribonucleoproteins with biotinylated oligonucleotides via an RNA aptamer for precise gene editing.

TL;DR: A modular RNA aptamer-streptavidin strategy, termed S1mplex, is developed to complex CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoproteins with a nucleic acid donor template, as well as other biotinylated molecules such as quantum dots, which could greatly reduce the time and cost of in vitro or ex vivo gene-editing applications in precision medicine and drug discovery.

Casilio: a versatile CRISPR-Cas9-Pumilio hybrid for gene regulation and genomic labeling.

TL;DR: Cloning PUFa and PUFb were amplified from constructs containing these coding sequences with primers containing SgrAI and PacI sites and were used to replace Sgrai-dCas9-FseI from pAC164:pmax- dCas9Master_VP64 to create pAC1355:PMax-NLSPUFa-VP64 and pAC 1356:pmAX-NL SPUFb-VP 64.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond the RNA-dependent function of LncRNA genes.

TL;DR: Recent work on several lncRNAs genes demonstrates that not only is the produced RNA species important, but also that transcription of the lncRNA locus alone can have regulatory functions.

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.
