CRISPR/Cas9 in Genome Editing and Beyond.
The Cas9 protein (CRISPR-associated protein 9), derived from type II CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) bacterial immune systems, is emerging as a powerful tool for engineering the genome in diverse organisms. As an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease, Cas9 can be easily programmed to target new sites by altering its guide RNA sequence, and its development as a tool has ...
متن کاملCRISPR-Cas9: from Genome Editing to Cancer Research
Cancer development is a multistep process triggered by innate and acquired mutations, which cause the functional abnormality and determine the initiation and progression of tumorigenesis. Gene editing is a widely used engineering tool for generating mutations that enhance tumorigenesis. The recent developed clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR-associated 9 (CRISPR-Ca...
متن کاملEfficient Mitochondrial Genome Editing by CRISPR/Cas9
The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system has been widely used for nuclear DNA editing to generate mutations or correct specific disease alleles. Despite its flexible application, it has not been determined if CRISPR/Cas9, originally identified as a bacterial defense system against virus, can be targeted to mitochondria for mtDNA editing. Here, we show t...
متن کاملNovel Genome Editing With CRISPR-Cas9
There are 9 Let7 family members present in keratinocytes, all acting as translational suppressors of the same target mRNAs. This redundancy implies that Let7 is crucial to cellular functioning, and it has indeed been found to act as a tumor suppressor, down regulating functions such as proliferation, cell motility, and de-differentiation. I hypothesized that increasing loss of Let7 loci would l...
متن کاملThe CRISPR/Cas9 system for plant genome editing and beyond.
Targeted genome editing using artificial nucleases has the potential to accelerate basic research as well as plant breeding by providing the means to modify genomes rapidly in a precise and predictable manner. Here we describe the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system, a recently developed tool for the introduction of site-sp...
