Simplified Gene Knockout by CRISPR-Cas9-Induced Homologous Recombination
Genetic engineering of industrial cell lines often requires knockout of multiple endogenous genes. Tools like CRISPR-Cas9 have enabled serial or parallelized gene disruption in a wide range of industrial organisms, but common practices for the screening ...

Generation of Fibroblasts Lacking the Sal-like 1 Gene by Using Transcription Activator-like Effector Nuclease-mediated Homologous Recombination [PDF]
The Sal-like 1 gene (Sall1) is essential for kidney development, and mutations in this gene result in abnormalities in the kidneys. Mice lacking Sall1 show agenesis or severe dysgenesis of the kidneys.

The LmSNF1 gene is required for pathogenicity in the canola blackleg pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans. [PDF]
Leptosphaeria maculans is a fungal pathogen causing blackleg in canola. Its virulence has been attributed, among other factors, to the activity of hydrolytic cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs).

Association of the CCR5 gene with juvenile idiopathic arthritis [PDF]
The CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) has been shown to be important in the recruitment of T-helper cells to the synovium, where they accumulate, drive the inflammatory process and the consequent synovitis and joint destruction.

sgRNA Sequence Motifs Blocking Efficient CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Gene Editing
Summary: Cas9 nucleases can be programmed with single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) to mediate gene editing. High CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene knockout efficiencies are essential for genetic screens and critically depend on the properties of the sgRNAs used.

Update on Viral Gene Therapy Clinical Trials for Retinal Diseases [PDF]
In 2001, the first large animal was successfully treated with a gene therapy that restored its vision. Lancelot, the Briard dog that was treated, suffered from a human childhood blindness called Leber's congenital amaurosis type 2.
