Genome Editing Tools in Plants
Genome editing tools have the potential to change the genomic architecture of a genome at precise locations, with desired accuracy. These tools have been efficiently used for trait discovery and for the generation of plants with high crop yields and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Due to complex genomic architecture, it is challenging to edit all of the genes/genomes using a particul...
متن کاملNovel Genome-Editing Tools to Model and Correct Primary Immunodeficiencies
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and other severe non-SCID primary immunodeficiencies (non-SCID PID) can be treated by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, but when histocompatibility leukocyte antigen-matched donors are lacking, this can be a high-risk procedure. Correcting the patient's own HSCs with gene therapy offers an attractive alternative. Gene therapies cur...
متن کاملProbing the impact of chromatin conformation on genome editing tools
Transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) and RNA-guided nucleases derived from clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 systems have become ubiquitous genome editing tools. Despite this, the impact that distinct high-order chromatin conformations have on these sequence-specific designer nucleases is, presently, ill-defined. The same applies to th...
متن کاملGenome editing: Broad Institute keeps CRISPR tools open.
As chief communications officer at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, I wish to clarify that the institute makes patent rights for CRISPR–Cas9 genome-editing technologies available globally across academia and industry (see J. Sherkow Nature 532, 172–173; 2016). For academic research, the patent rights are freely available and we openly share CRISPR reagents through the non-profit reposito...
متن کاملSilencing long noncoding RNAs with genome-editing tools.
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a functional and structural diverse class of cellular transcripts that comprise the largest fraction of the human transcriptome. However, detailed functional analysis lags behind their rapid discovery. This might be partially due to the lack of loss-of-function approaches that efficiently reduce the expression of these transcripts. Here, I describe a method tha...
