Investigating the Genomic Background of CRISPR-Cas Genomes for CRISPR-Based Antimicrobials [PDF]
CRISPR-Cas systems are an adaptive immunity that protects prokaryotes against foreign genetic elements. Genetic templates acquired during past infection events enable DNA-interacting enzymes to recognize foreign DNA for destruction.

Effect of migration in a diffusion model for template coexistence in protocells [PDF]
The compartmentalization of distinct templates in protocells and the exchange of templates between them (migration) are key elements of a modern scenario for prebiotic evolution.

A C++ Template Library for Efficient Forward-Time Population Genetic Simulation of Large Populations [PDF]
Abstract fwdpp is a C++ library of routines intended to facilitate the development of forward-time simulations under arbitrary mutation and fitness models. The library design provides a combination of speed, low memory overhead, and modeling flexibility not currently available from other forward simulation tools.

Explorations on template-directed genetic repair using ancient ancestors and other templates [PDF]
Handling constraints for combinatorial optimization problems is a classic challenge faced by genetic and evolutionary algorithms. This paper explores a naturally inspired genetic repair process to enforce constraints on evolutionary search. Lolle et al.

Co-design, implementation, and evaluation of plain language genomic test reports
Understanding and communicating genomic results can be challenging for families and health professionals without genetic specialty training. Unlike modifying existing laboratory reports, plain language genomic test reports provide an opportunity for ...

Template-directed synthesis of a genetic polymer in a model protocell [PDF]
Contemporary phospholipid-based cell membranes are formidable barriers to the uptake of polar and charged molecules ranging from metal ions to complex nutrients. Modern cells therefore require sophisticated protein channels and pumps to mediate the exchange of molecules with their environment.

Extensive recombination due to heteroduplexes generates large amounts of artificial gene fragments during PCR. [PDF]
Artificial recombinants can be generated during PCR when more than two genetically distinct templates coexist in a single PCR reaction. These recombinant amplicons can lead to the false interpretation of genetic diversity and incorrect identification of ...

Prime Editing: Genome Editing for Rare Genetic Diseases Without Double-Strand Breaks or Donor DNA
An article published in Nature (Anzalone et al., 2019) reports the development of a genome editing experimental approach that mediates all possible base-to-base conversions, “indels,” and combinations in human genome without the need of double-strand ...
