Non-viral vectors for gene-based therapy

TL;DR: The biological barriers to gene delivery in vivo are introduced and recent advances in material sciences, nanotechnology and nucleic acid chemistry that have yielded promising non-viral delivery systems are discussed, some of which are currently undergoing testing in clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Easy quantitative assessment of genome editing by sequence trace decomposition

TL;DR: TIDE, a method that requires only a pair of PCR reactions and two standard capillary sequencing runs to identify the major induced mutations in the projected editing site and accurately determines their frequency in a cell population, is presented.

Dynamic Imaging of Genomic Loci in Living Human Cells by an Optimized CRISPR/Cas System

TL;DR: Using an EGFP-tagged endonuclease-deficient Cas9 protein and a structurally optimized small guide (sg) RNA, robust imaging of repetitive elements in telomeres and coding genes in living cells is demonstrated by repurposing the bacterial CRISPR/Cas system.

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.

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.

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.
