Improved genome editing in human cell lines using the CRISPR method [PDF]
, 2014 The Cas9/CRISPR system has become a popular choice for genome editing. In this system, binding of a single guide (sg) RNA to a cognate genomic sequence enables the Cas9 nuclease to induce a double-strand break at that locus.

Defect in cytosolic Neu2 sialidase abrogates lipid metabolism and impairs muscle function in vivo
Scientific Reports, 2022 Sialic acid (SA) is present in glycoconjugates and important in cell–cell recognition, cell adhesion, and cell growth and as a receptor. Among the four mammalian sialidases, cytosolic NEU2 has a pivotal role in muscle and neuronal differentiation in ...

De Novo Transcriptome Profiling of Brain Tissue from the Annual Killifish Nothobranchius guentheri
Life, 2021 Nothobranchius is a genus of small annual killifish found in Africa. Due to the relatively short lifespan, as well as easy breeding and care, Nothobranchius fish are becoming widely used as a vertebrate model system. Studying the genome and transcriptome

New PAM Improves the Single-Base Specificity of crRNA-Guided LbCas12a Nuclease
Life, 2022 The RNA-guided Cas12a nuclease forms a complex with a CRISPR RNA (crRNA) to cleave the double-stranded DNA target. Among others, Cas12a protein from Lachnospiraceae bacterium (LbCas12a) is widely used for biomedical research.

DNA editing in DNA/RNA hybrids by adenosine deaminases that act on RNA. [PDF]
, 2017 Adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADARs) carry out adenosine (A) to inosine (I) editing reactions with a known requirement for duplex RNA. Here, we show that ADARs also react with DNA/RNA hybrid duplexes.

Highly efficient genome editing by CRISPR-Cpf1 using CRISPR RNA with a uridinylate-rich 3′-overhang
Nature Communications, 2018 Cpf1 is a promising alternative to Cas9 though indel generation efficiency is target dependent. Here the authors show that the addition of a polyU 3′ overhang can improve the efficiency of low efficiency guide RNAs.

Cas9 exo-endonuclease eliminates chromosomal translocations during genome editing
Nature Communications, 2022 Chromosomal structural variations induced by CRISPR/Cas hinder its application in clinics. Here, the authors fuse Cas9 with optimized TREX2 to generate Cas9TX, which can prevent perfect repair and inhibit repeated cleavage.
