TLDR
The newly-developed transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) comprise a nonspecific DNA-cleaving nuclease fused to a DNA-binding domain that can be easily engineered so that TALens can target essentially any sequence.Abstract:
Engineered nucleases enable the targeted alteration of nearly any gene in a wide range of cell types and organisms. The newly-developed transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) comprise a nonspecific DNA-cleaving nuclease fused to a DNA-binding domain that can be easily engineered so that TALENs can target essentially any sequence. The capability to quickly and efficiently alter genes using TALENs promises to have profound impacts on biological research and to yield potential therapeutic strategies for genetic diseases.read more

The use of obsolete and modern cultivars to examine advances in yield and dry matter partitioning.
TL;DR: Yield increases through partitioning from vegetative to reproductive structures were likely to continue and it is not known if such alterations have been brought forward in today’s biotechnologically modified cultivars.

Genome editing by targeted chromosomal mutagenesis.
TL;DR: The tools for genome engineering have become very powerful and accessible and are being used to introduce favorable characteristics into organisms of economic significance, and the prospects for enhancing human gene therapy appear very bright.

Implantation assays using the integument of early stage Bombyx larvae: Insights into the mechanisms underlying the acquisition of competence for metamorphosis
Tomohiro Inui,Takaaki Daimon +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the epidermis of very early instar larvae can be pupally committed when provided with unidentified blood-borne factor present in final-instar larvae, and that JHs can block the action of that factor to prolong the feeding period until larvae attain a size appropriate for metamorphosis.

Liquid-based iterative recombineering method tolerant to counter-selection escapes
Masahiro Tominaga,Shigeko Kawai-Noma,Ikuro Kawagishi,Yoshiyuki Sowa,Kyoichi Saito,Daisuke Umeno +5 more
TL;DR: A highly efficient, rapid, and liquid-based counter-selection system was established using the nucleoside kinase activity of herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase on the non-natural nucleosid dP, enabling seamless and multiple insertions/replacement of gene-size fragments in the chromosome.

TL;DR: This study identifies TALE truncation variants that efficiently cleave DNA when linked to the catalytic domain of FokI and uses them to generate discrete edits or small deletions within endogenous human NTF3 and CCR5 genes at efficiencies of up to 25%.

Genome editing with engineered zinc finger nucleases
TL;DR: A broad range of outcomes has resulted from the application of the same core technology: targeted genome cleavage by engineered, sequence-specific zinc finger nucleases followed by gene modification during subsequent repair.

A Simple Cipher Governs DNA Recognition by TAL Effectors
TL;DR: It is shown that a repeat-variable pair of residues specifies the nucleotides in the target site, one pair to one nucleotide, with no apparent context dependence, which represents a previously unknown mechanism for protein-DNA recognition that explains TAL effector specificity, enables target site prediction, and opens prospects for use of TAL effects in research and biotechnology.
