Can Mitochondrial DNA be CRISPRized: Pro and Contra.
Published: December, 2018

Abstract: Mitochondria represent a chimera of macromolecules encoded either in the organellar genome, mtDNA, or in the nuclear one. If the pathway of protein targeting to different sub-compartments of mitochondria was relatively well studied, import of smal...

A geminivirus-based guide RNA delivery system for CRISPR/Cas9 mediated plant genome editing
Published: October, 2015

Abstract: CRISPR/Cas has emerged as potent genome editing technology and has successfully been applied in many organisms, including several plant species. However, delivery of genome editing reagents remains a challenge in plants. Here, we report a virus-ba...

Rapid and highly efficient mammalian cell engineering via Cas9 protein transfection.
Published: August, 2015

Abstract: CRISPR-Cas9 systems provide a platform for high efficiency genome editing that are enabling innovative applications of mammalian cell engineering. However, the delivery of Cas9 and synthesis of guide RNA (gRNA) remain as steps that can limit overa...

A localized nucleolar DNA damage response facilitates recruitment of the homology-directed repair machinery independent of cell cycle stage.
Published: June, 2015

Abstract: DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired by two main pathways: nonhomologous end-joining and homologous recombination (HR). Repair pathway choice is thought to be determined by cell cycle timing and chromatin context. Nucleoli, prominent nucle...

Genome-wide CRISPR screen in a mouse model of tumor growth and metastasis.
Published: March, 2015

Abstract: Genetic screens are powerful tools for identifying genes responsible for diverse phenotypes. Here we describe a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9-mediated loss-of-function screen in tumor growth and metastasis. We mutagenized a non-metastatic mouse cancer c...

Use of the CRISPR/Cas9 system as an intracellular defense against HIV-1 infection in human cells.
Published: March, 2015

Abstract: To combat hostile viruses, bacteria and archaea have evolved a unique antiviral defense system composed of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs), together with CRISPR-associated genes (Cas). The CRISPR/Cas9 system dev...

An inducible lentiviral guide RNA platform enables the identification of tumor-essential genes and tumor-promoting mutations in vivo.
Published: March, 2015

Abstract: The CRISPR/Cas9 technology enables the introduction of genomic alterations into almost any organism; however, systems for efficient and inducible gene modification have been lacking, especially for deletion of essential genes. Here, we describe a ...
