Cas-Database: web-based genome-wide guide RNA library design for gene knockout screens using CRISPR-Cas9

TL;DR: An online tool, Cas-Database, a genome-wide gRNA library design tool for Cas9 nucleases from Streptococcus pyogenes (SpCas9) with an easy-to-use web interface, which provides a powerful way to select multiple optimal target sequences from thousands of genes at once for the creation of a genomes-wide library.

CRISPR-based Activation of Endogenous Neurotrophic Genes in Adipose Stem Cell Sheets to Stimulate Peripheral Nerve Regeneration.

TL;DR: The potentials of the hybrid BV-delivered CRISPRa system for multiplexed activation of endogenous neurotrophic factor genes in ASC sheets to promote peripheral nerve regeneration are implicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The long non-coding RNA LUCAT1 is a negative feedback regulator of interferon responses in humans.

TL;DR: The role of the lncRNA LUCAT1 is identified which is upregulated in human myeloid cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide and other innate immune stimuli and functions to restrain the immune response in human cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synergistic lethality between BRCA1 and H3K9me2 loss reflects satellite derepression

TL;DR: A genome-wide synthetic lethality screen shows that the BRCA1/BARD1 complex is necessary for germline viability in worms lacking MET-2 but not SET-25, and the synthetic sterility upon BRC a/Bard1 and H3K9me2 loss is directly linked to the DNA damage provoked by unscheduled satellite repeat 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.
