Switchable Cas9

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Biotechnology, 2017
Ever since its discovery, Cas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes has revolutionized biology by enabling analysis and engineering of genomes with unprecedented precision and ease. To fine-tune on-target effects and to mitigate adverse effects caused by untimely and off-target action of Cas9, strategies have been developed to control its activity at the post ...

Tunable Transcriptional Interference at the Endogenous Alcohol Dehydrogenase Gene Locus in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Neighboring sequences of a gene can influence its expression. In the phenomenon known as transcriptional interference, transcription at one region in the genome can repress transcription at a nearby region in cis. Transcriptional interference occurs at a

Potential Application of the CRISPR/Cas9 System against Herpesvirus Infections. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been applied in the genome editing and disruption of latent infections for herpesviruses such as the herpes simplex virus, Epstein⁻Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus.

Targeted genome modifications in soybean with CRISPR/Cas9 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: The ability to selectively alter genomic DNA sequences in vivo is a powerful tool for basic and applied research. The CRISPR/Cas9 system precisely mutates DNA sequences in a number of organisms.

Evaluating the feasibility of Cas9 overexpression in 3T3-L1 cells for generation of genetic knock-out adipocyte cell lines

open access: yesAdipocyte, 2021
Cell lines recapitulating physiological processes can represent alternatives to animal or human studies. The 3T3-L1 cell line is used to mimic adipocyte function and differentiation. Since transfection of 3T3-L1 cells is difficult, we used a modified 3T3-

Rewriting Human History and Empowering Indigenous Communities with Genome Editing Tools. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Appropriate empirical-based evidence and detailed theoretical considerations should be used for evolutionary explanations of phenotypic variation observed in the field of human population genetics (especially Indigenous populations). Investigators within

An enhanced CRISPR repressor for targeted mammalian gene regulation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The RNA-guided endonuclease Cas9 can be converted into a programmable transcriptional repressor, but inefficiencies in target-gene silencing have limited its utility.

CRISPR/Cas9 uses

open access: yesVeterinarska stanica, 2021
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR- associated system (Cas) is a system that provides immunity to most prokaryoticorganisms against viral attacks and other foreign bodies. CRISPR systems consist of a scissor-like protein called Cas9 and a genetic GPS guide “The guide RNA”.
