Exon-intron circular RNAs regulate transcription in the nucleus

TL;DR: A new role for circRNAs in regulating gene expression in the nucleus is revealed, in which EIciRNAs enhance the expression of their parental genes in cis, and a regulatory strategy for transcriptional control via specific RNA-RNA interaction between U1 snRNA and EICIRNAs is highlighted.

Genome-Scale CRISPR-Mediated Control of Gene Repression and Activation

TL;DR: This work identifies rules for specific targeting of transcriptional repressors (CRISPRi), typically achieving 90%-99% knockdown with minimal off-target effects, and activators to endogenous genes via endonuclease-deficient Cas9, which enable modulation of gene expression over a ∼1,000-fold range.

A census of human RNA-binding proteins.

TL;DR: This work presents a census of 1,542 manually curated RBPs that are analysed for their interactions with different classes of RNA, their evolutionary conservation, their abundance and their tissue-specific expression, a critical step towards the comprehensive characterization of proteins involved in human RNA metabolism.

Genome-Scale CRISPR-Mediated Control of Gene Repression and Activation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify rules for specific targeting of transcriptional repressors (CRISPRi), typically achieving 90%-99% knockdown with minimal off-target effects, and activators (CRisPRa) to endogenous genes via endonuclease-deficient Cas9.
Journal ArticleDOI

A brave new world of RNA-binding proteins

TL;DR: The RNA targets and molecular and cellular functions of the new RBPs, as well as the possibility that some RBPs may be regulated by RNA rather than regulate RNA, are discussed.

MicroRNAs: Target Recognition and Regulatory Functions

TL;DR: The current understanding of miRNA target recognition in animals is outlined and the widespread impact of miRNAs on both the expression and evolution of protein-coding genes is discussed.

Potent and specific genetic interference by double-stranded RNA in Caenorhabditis elegans

TL;DR: To their surprise, it was found that double-stranded RNA was substantially more effective at producing interference than was either strand individually, arguing against stochiometric interference with endogenous mRNA and suggesting that there could be a catalytic or amplification component in the interference process.

Multiplex Genome Engineering Using CRISPR/Cas Systems

TL;DR: The type II prokaryotic CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas adaptive immune system has been shown to facilitate RNA-guided site-specific DNA cleavage as discussed by the authors.

The C. elegans heterochronic gene lin-4 encodes small RNAs with antisense complementarity to lin-14

TL;DR: Two small lin-4 transcripts of approximately 22 and 61 nt were identified in C. elegans and found to contain sequences complementary to a repeated sequence element in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of lin-14 mRNA, suggesting that lin- 4 regulates lin- 14 translation via an antisense RNA-RNA interaction.

Multiplex Genome Engineering Using CRISPR/Cas Systems

TL;DR: Two different type II CRISPR/Cas systems are engineered and it is demonstrated that Cas9 nucleases can be directed by short RNAs to induce precise cleavage at endogenous genomic loci in human and mouse cells, demonstrating easy programmability and wide applicability of the RNA-guided nuclease technology.
