Comparative genomics and evolution of trans-activating RNAs in Class 2 CRISPR-Cas systems
Trans-activating CRISPR (tracr) RNA is a distinct RNA species that interacts with the CRISPR (cr) RNA to form the dual guide (g) RNA in type II and subtype V-B CRISPR-Cas systems.

Structural basis for RNA-guided DNA cleavage by IscB-ωRNA and mechanistic comparison with Cas9
Class 2 CRISPR effectors Cas9 and Cas12 may have evolved from nucleases in IS200/IS605 transposons. IscB is about two-fifths the size of Cas9 but shares a similar domain organization.

The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful genome editing tool for the production of genetically modified animals. To produce mutant mice, chimeric single-guide RNA (sgRNA) is cloned in a plasmid vector and a mixture of sgRNA and Cas9 are microinjected into ...

Action mechanisms of CRISPR/Cas system and its application in genetic improvement of crops
CRISPR/Cas system is an emerging gene-editing technology, which can knock out multiple genes at multiple specific loci. Compared with other gene editing systems including ZFNs (zinc finger nucleases) and TALENs (transcription activator-like effector ...

Molecular mechanisms of CRISPR-mediated microbial immunity [PDF]
Bacteriophages (phages) infect bacteria in order to replicate and burst out of the host, killing the cell, when reproduction is completed. Thus, from a bacterial perspective, phages pose a persistent lethal threat to bacterial populations.

dCas9-based epigenome editing suggests acquisition of histone methylation is not sufficient for target gene repression. [PDF]
Distinct epigenomic profiles of histone marks have been associated with gene expression, but questions regarding the causal relationship remain. Here we investigated the activity of a broad collection of genomically targeted epigenetic regulators that ...
