Precision Control of CRISPR-Cas9 Using Small Molecules and Light

TL;DR: A perspective on advances in the precision control of Cas9 over aforementioned dimensions using external stimuli (e.g., small molecules or light) for controlled activation, inhibition, or degradation of Cas 9 is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Neuron-Optimized CRISPR/dCas9 Activation System for Robust and Specific Gene Regulation.

TL;DR: A highly efficient, neuron-optimized dual lentiviral CRISPR-based transcriptional activation (CRISPRa) system capable of robust, modular, and tunable gene induction and multiplexed gene regulation across several primary rodent neuron culture systems is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

LncRNA AK023948 is a positive regulator of AKT.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates two previously uncharacterized factors AK023948 and DHX9 as important players in the AKT pathway, and that their upregulation may contribute to breast tumour progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterochromatin-Encoded Satellite RNAs Induce Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that increased levels of satellite RNAs in mammary glands induce tumor formation in mice, and it is shown that genomic instability induced by satelliteRNAs occurs through interactions with BRCA1-associated protein networks required for the stabilization of DNA replication forks.
Journal ArticleDOI

An RNA-aptamer-based two-color CRISPR labeling system.

TL;DR: This work reports the development of an alternative two-color CRISPR labeling method using only the well-characterized Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9, by incorporating MS2 or PP7 RNA aptamers into the sgRNA.

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.
