Embryos as Patients? Medical Provider Duties in the Age of CRISPR/Cas9 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering platform is the first method of gene editing that could potentially be used to treat genetic disorders in human embryos. No past therapies, genetic or otherwise, have been intended or used to treat disorders in existent

Transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genome during induced DNA breaks

open access: yesNature Communications
Mitochondria serve as the cellular powerhouse, and their distinct DNA makes them a prospective target for gene editing to treat genetic disorders. However, the impact of genome editing on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) stability remains a mystery.

N-terminus of Drosophila melanogaster MSL1 is critical for dosage compensation

open access: yeseLife
The male-specific lethal complex (MSL), which consists of five proteins and two non-coding roX RNAs, is involved in the transcriptional enhancement of X-linked genes to compensate for the sex chromosome monosomy in Drosophila XY males compared with XX ...

Comparison of promoters for transient gene expression in avian cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Genome editing technology by the CRISPR/Cas9, which was developed in 2012, is applicable in a variety of species. In birds, because the techniques of gene transfer and gene disruption has not been established, CRISPR/Cas9 method using adeno-associated ...

Refined DNA repair manipulation enables a universal knock-in strategy in mouse embryos

open access: yesNature Communications
The design and screening of sgRNA in CRISPR-dependent gene knock-in is always laborious. Therefore, a universal and highly efficient knock-in strategy suitable for different sgRNA target sites is necessary.

A bacterial gene-drive system efficiently edits and inactivates a high copy number antibiotic resistance locus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Gene-drive systems in diploid organisms bias the inheritance of one allele over another. CRISPR-based gene-drive expresses a guide RNA (gRNA) into the genome at the site where the gRNA directs Cas9-mediated cleavage.
