Epigenetic Regulation of Interleukin 6 by Histone Acetylation in Macrophages and Its Role in Paraquat-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PQ-induced IL-6 expression in macrophages plays a central role in pulmonary fibrosis through enhanced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and was regulated dynamically by HDAC and HAT both in vitro and in vivo via epigenetically regulating chromatin accessibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiplexed CRISPR Activation of Cryptic Sugar Metabolism Enables Yarrowia Lipolytica Growth on Cellobiose.

TL;DR: This work expands the synthetic biology toolbox for metabolic engineering in Y. lipolytica and demonstrates how the programmability of the CRISPR-Cas9 system can enable facile investigation of transcriptionally silent regions of the genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo CRISPRa decreases seizures and rescues cognitive deficits in a rodent model of epilepsy.

TL;DR: It is reported thatCRISPRa upregulation of an endogenous potassium channel reduces seizures and rescues cognitive defects in an epilepsy model, providing proof of principle for a translational CRISPR-based approach to treat neurological diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrated design, execution, and analysis of arrayed and pooled CRISPR genome-editing experiments

TL;DR: This protocol allows for design and execution of arrayed and pooled CRISPR experiments in 4-5 weeks by non-experts, as well as computational data analysis that can be performed in 1-2 d by both computational and noncomputational biologists alike using web-based and/or command-line versions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide determination of on-target and off-target characteristics for RNA-guided DNA methylation by dCas9 methyltransferases.

TL;DR: It is proved that dCas9 methyltransferases cause efficient RNA-guided methylation of specific endogenous CpGs and can mediate transient inhibition of gene expression, which might be caused by d Cas9-mediated de novo DNA methylation as well as interference with transcription.

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.

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.
