The scientists at Horizon Discovery have published a robust and precise approach to generating translocations. This advancement facilitates the generation of relevant cell line models for oncology research.
Much information about the role of specific genes in fundamental biological processes and the onset and progression of genetic disease has been gleaned by researchers having the ability to selectively alter the genomic composition of individual genes and study the consequences. This approach enables researchers to observe the effects of a specific mutation, SNP or deletion in combination with the added layers of regulation present within the cell, including post-translational modification, epigenetic changes associated with chromatin structure, and transcriptional mechanisms.
It’s hard to keep up with the rapidly expanding world of CRISPR, and it’s starting to feel like CRISPR screens are being published every week, taking the technique from the cutting edge to the mainstream. If you’d like to understand a bit more about CRISPR screens, here’s a number of fantastic publications that have really moved this technology forward.
