Genome-wide programmable transcriptional memory by CRISPR-based epigenome editing. [PDF]
SUMMARY A general approach for heritably altering gene expression has the potential to enable many discovery and therapeutic efforts. Here, we present CRISPRoff—a programmable epigenetic memory writer consisting of a single dead Cas9 fusion protein that ...

Matrix mechano-sensing at the invasive front induces a cytoskeletal and transcriptional memory supporting metastasis. [PDF]
The extracellular matrix (ECM) controls tumour dissemination. We characterise ECM organization in human and mouse tumours, identifying three regions: tumour body, proximal invasive front and distal invasive front.

CRISPR-dCas13-tracing reveals transcriptional memory and limited mRNA export in developing zebrafish embryos. [PDF]
Background Understanding gene transcription and mRNA-protein (mRNP) dynamics in single cells in a multicellular organism has been challenging. The catalytically dead CRISPR-Cas13 (dCas13) system has been used to visualize RNAs in live cells without ...

Transcriptional memory of gene expression across generations participates in transgenerational plasticity of field pennycress in response to cadmium stress [PDF]
Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) occurs when maternal environments influence the expression of traits in offspring, and in some cases may increase fitness of offspring and have evolutionary significance.

Transcriptional memory and response to adverse temperatures in plants. [PDF]
Temperature is one of the major environmental signals controlling plant development, geographical distribution, and seasonal behavior. Plants perceive adverse temperatures, such as high, low, and freezing temperatures, as stressful signals that can cause

Heteromeric HSFA2/HSFA3 complexes drive transcriptional memory after heat stress in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Adaptive plasticity in stress responses is a key element of plant survival strategies. For instance, moderate heat stress (HS) primes a plant to acquire thermotolerance, which allows subsequent survival of more severe HS conditions.

INO1 transcriptional memory leads to DNA zip code-dependent interchromosomal clustering
Many genes localize at the nuclear periphery through physical interaction with the nuclear pore complex (NPC). We have found that the yeast INO1 gene is targeted to the NPC both upon activation and for several generations after repression, a phenomenon ...

Oncogenic enhancers prime quiescent metastatic cells to escape NK immune surveillance by eliciting transcriptional memory. [PDF]
Metastasis arises from disseminated tumour cells (DTCs) that are characterized by intrinsic phenotypic plasticity and the capability of seeding to secondary organs. DTCs can remain latent for years before giving rise to symptomatic overt metastasis.

Transcriptional Memory in Taraxacum mongolicum in Response to Long-Term Different Grazing Intensities [PDF]
Grazing, as an important land use method in grassland, has a significant impact on the morphological and physiological traits of plants. However, little is known about how the molecular mechanism of plant responds to different grazing intensities.
