Directed genome engineering for genome optimization.
The ability to develop nucleases with tailor-made activities for targeted DNA double-strand break induction at will at any desired position in the genome has been a major breakthrough to make targeted genome optimization feasible in plants. The development of site specific nucleases for precise genome modification has expanded the repertoire of tools for the development and optimization of trai...
متن کاملGenome engineering: writing a better genome.
At first glance, the undergraduate biology curriculum at the Johns Hopkins University doesn't look all that different from other biology programs. All the usual suspects are on the schedule: General Biology and Cell Biology, Virology and Genetics, Immunology and Biochemistry. But down at the bottom of that list is something that you don't see every day — Biology 420: Build-a-Genome. While the c...
متن کاملOptimization of Genome Engineering Approaches with the CRISPR/Cas9 System
Designer nucleases such as TALENS and Cas9 have opened new opportunities to scarlessly edit the mammalian genome. Here we explored several parameters that influence Cas9-mediated scarless genome editing efficiency in murine embryonic stem cells. Optimization of transfection conditions and enriching for transfected cells are critical for efficiently recovering modified clones. Paired gRNAs and w...
متن کاملOptimization of genome editing through CRISPR-Cas9 engineering
CRISPR (Clustered Regularly-Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats)-Cas9 (CRISPR associated protein 9) has rapidly become the most promising genome editing tool with great potential to revolutionize medicine. Through guidance of a 20 nucleotide RNA (gRNA), CRISPR-Cas9 finds and cuts target protospacer DNA precisely 3 base pairs upstream of a PAM (Protospacer Adjacent Motif). The broken DNA ends ...
متن کاملPrecision genome engineering
More broadly, however, we need to get the message to the ordinary taxpayer and to legislators of the importance of basic research and of stable, longterm funding for research that only governments can afford to support. I wonder if we could convince Fox News in the USA to have a ‘redneck scientist’ segment in which a ‘salt of the earth’ scientist explains to the Fox audience how basic research ...
