Gene Targeting in Disease Networks. [PDF]
Profiling of whole transcriptomes has become a cornerstone of molecular biology and an invaluable tool for the characterization of clinical phenotypes and the identification of disease subtypes. Analyses of these data are becoming ever more sophisticated as we move beyond simple comparisons to consider networks of higher-order interactions and ...

Gene targeting in plants [PDF]
Although the generation of transgenic plants is now routine, the integration of foreign genetic information has so far been at random sites in the genome. We now present evidence for directed integration into a predicted location in the host plant genome.

When it comes to silencing genes in mice, not all approaches are equal. An example published in this issue of Cell (Patrucco et al., 2004) suggests that caution should be used when validating potential drug targets by genetic disruption.

T-Gene: improved target gene prediction [PDF]
Abstract Motivation Identifying the genes regulated by a given transcription factor (TF) (its ‘target genes’) is a key step in developing a comprehensive understanding of gene regulation. Previously, we developed a method (CisMapper) for predicting the target genes of a TF based solely on the ...

The effect of primer choice and short read sequences on the outcome of 16S rRNA gene based diversity studies [PDF]
Different regions of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene evolve at different evolutionary rates. The scientific outcome of short read sequencing studies therefore alters with the gene region sequenced.

Gene targeting in livestock [PDF]
The development of nuclear transfer from tissue culture cells in livestock made it possible in principle to produce animals with subtle, directed genetic changes by in vitro modification of nuclear donor cells. In the short period since nuclear transfer was first performed, gene targeting in livestock has become a reality.

Transcriptome Analysis of Targeted Mouse Mutations Reveals the Topography of Local Changes in Gene Expression. [PDF]
The unintended consequences of gene targeting in mouse models have not been thoroughly studied and a more systematic analysis is needed to understand the frequency and characteristics of off-target effects.

CRISPR-Cas9-mediated functional dissection of 3'-UTRs. [PDF]
Many studies using reporter assays have demonstrated that 3' untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) regulate gene expression by controlling mRNA stability and translation.

Targeting Epilepsy Genes [PDF]
In medieval art it was traditional to show a demon emanating from a suffering epileptic at the conclusion of a seizure, with concern clearly evident regarding its inevitable reappearance. In this century, anticonvulsant drugs have been developed for their ability to control, rather than prevent or reverse, seizure disorders.

Gene Editing and Genotoxicity: Targeting the Off-Targets [PDF]
Gene editing technologies show great promise for application to human disease as a result of rapid developments in targeting tools notably based on ZFN, TALEN, and CRISPR-Cas systems. Precise modification of a DNA sequence is now possible in mature human somatic cells including stem and progenitor cells with increasing degrees of efficiency.
