Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells through epigenetic editing without altering the genetic sequence itself. It’s a great tool for controlling gene expression.”. pyogenes dCas9.

Using CRISPR to Edit the Epigenome Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells without editing the genetic sequence itself. These modifications regulate gene expression without altering the sequence or structure of DNA.

The use of base editing in stem-cell based therapies

Drug Discovery World

Such stocks have already been created using conventional CRISPR-Cas9 approaches; however, cells edited with CRISPR-Cas9 have an increased risk of random insertions and deletions (indels) which are introduced during a cell’s intrinsic DNA repair process following a DNA double strand break (DSB) from Cas9. 2016;353(6305):aaf8729.
