Off-target Effects in CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Genome Engineering

TL;DR: The improvement off-target specificity in the CRISPR/Cas9 system will provide solid genotype–phenotype correlations, and thus enable faithful interpretation of genome-editing data, which will certainly facilitate the basic and clinical application of this technology.

Prevention of muscular dystrophy in mice by CRISPR/Cas9–mediated editing of germline DNA

TL;DR: A mutation that causes muscular dystrophy in mice can be corrected by genome editing, which prevents the disease from developing, and this proof of concept sets the stage for applying genome editing to specific cell types involved in the disease.

Genome-editing Technologies for Gene and Cell Therapy

TL;DR: The mechanisms of different genome-editing strategies are presented and each of the common nuclease-based platforms, including zinc finger nucleases, transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), meganucleases, and the CRISPR/Cas9 system are described.

Zinc fingers hit off target

TL;DR: ZFNs, in addition to cleaving at their desired sites, can also have unexpected cleavage effects in vivo that cannot be predicted using conventional in silico analyses, which could have important consequences for the safe use and optimization of ZFNs in gene therapy.
