Multiplex gene editing by CRISPR–Cpf1 using a single crRNA array

TLDR
In the version of this article initially published, the percentage for the targets Mecp2, Nlgn3, and Drd1 should be 15.2%, not 16.9%; the same error appeared in the main text, next to last paragraph, “The authors' results show that ∼17%.
Abstract
Targeting of multiple genomic loci with Cas9 is limited by the need for multiple or large expression constructs. Here we show that the ability of Cpf1 to process its own CRISPR RNA (crRNA) can be used to simplify multiplexed genome editing. Using a single customized CRISPR array, we edit up to four genes in mammalian cells and three in the mouse brain, simultaneously.

Efficient targeted DNA editing and replacement in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using Cpf1 ribonucleoproteins and single-stranded DNA

TL;DR: It is reported that single-step codelivery of CRISPR/Cpf1 ribonucleoproteins with single-stranded DNA repair templates results in precise and targeted DNA replacement with as much as ∼10% efficiency in C. reinhardtii.

dCas9-based epigenome editing suggests acquisition of histone methylation is not sufficient for target gene repression.

TL;DR: The results suggest that so-called repressive histone modifications are not sufficient for gene repression, and the easily programmable dCas9 toolkit allowed precise control of epigenetic information and dissection of the relationship between the epigenome and gene regulation.

Multiplex gene regulation by CRISPR-ddCpf1

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ddCpf1 alone could be employed for gene repression in Escherichia coli, and the repression was more effective with CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) specifically targeting to the template strand of its target genes, which was different from that of dCas9.

Immunity to CRISPR Cas9 and Cas12a therapeutics

TL;DR: Ways to assay and reduce the immunogenicity of Cas9 and Cas12a proteins are critical for ensuring patient safety and treatment efficacy, and for bringing us closer to realizing the vision of permanent genetic cures.

CRISPR Cpf1 proteins: structure, function and implications for genome editing.

TL;DR: The evolutionary origins, basic architectures, and molecular mechanisms of Cpf1 family proteins, as well as crRNA designing and delivery strategies are discussed, which have broadened the versatility and feasibility of this system in genome editing, transcription regulation, epigenetic modulation, and base editing.
