Discovery of cancer drug targets by CRISPR-Cas9 screening of protein domains - Nature Biotechnology

Discovery of cancer drug targets by CRISPR-Cas9 screening of protein domains - Nature Biotechnology | Genetic Engineering Publications - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it



BigField GEG Tech's insight:

In this study, the scientists used the CRISPR-Cas9 system to target exons encoding functional protein domains. A screen of 192 chromatin regulatory domains in murine acute myeloid leukemia cells identifies six known drug targets and 19 additional dependencies.

A platform for rapid generation of single and multiplexed reporters in human iPSC lines - Scientific Reports

A platform for rapid generation of single and multiplexed reporters in human iPSC lines - Scientific Reports | Genetic Engineering Publications - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it



BigField GEG Tech's insight:

In this study, the authors design high efficiency TALEN and ZFN to target two safe harbor sites on chromosome 13 and 19 to generate reporter systems while retaining pluripotent characteristics. They demonstrate the possibility to use a Cre-recombinase induced cassette exchange strategy to rapidly exchange reporter cassettes to develop new reporter lines in the same isogenic background at high efficiency. The results provide a novel platform for rapidly developing custom single or dual reporter systems for screening assays.
