Editing DNA Methylation in the Mammalian Genome

TL;DR: Fusion of Tet1 or Dnmt3a with a catalytically inactive Cas9 enables targeted DNA methylation editing and these tools can editDNA methylation in mice, demonstrating their wide utility for functional studies of epigenetic regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delivering CRISPR: a review of the challenges and approaches.

TL;DR: The focus then turns to the most difficult barrier to potential in vivo use of CRISPR/Cas9, delivery, and detail the various cargos and delivery vehicles reported for CRISpr/ Cas9, including physical delivery vehicles, viral delivery methods, and non-viral delivery methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Applications of CRISPR technologies in research and beyond

TL;DR: Programmable DNA cleavage using CRISPR–Cas9 enables efficient, site-specific genome engineering in single cells and whole organisms and is being used to expedite crop and livestock breeding, engineer new antimicrobials and control disease- carrying insects with gene drives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compact and highly active next-generation libraries for CRISPR-mediated gene repression and activation

TL;DR: A comprehensive algorithm that incorporates chromatin, position, and sequence features to accurately predict highly effective single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) for targeting nuclease-dead Cas9-mediated transcriptional repression (CRISPRi) and activation ( CRISPRa) is built.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence determinants of improved CRISPR sgRNA design

TL;DR: This work derived a new sequence model for predicting sgRNA efficiency in CRISPR/Cas9 knockout experiments and suggested new features including a preference for cytosine at the cleavage site that facilitate the genome-wide design of improved sg RNA for both knockout and CRISpri/a studies.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
