  • New research from Princeton University, University of Californa San Francisco, Massachussetts Institute of Technology and Tessera Therapeutics details a novel method called Repair-seq that measures the effects of thousands of genetic perturbations on mutations introduced at targeted DNA lesions, to reveal in exquisite detail how genome editing tools work. The findings were published in Cell earlier his week.
  • A team at University of Massachussetts Medical School has explored chemical modifications to double-stranded and single-stranded DNA repair genome-editing templates. They describe several 5′-terminal modifications including the incorporation of triethylene glycol (TEG) moieties, that consistently increased the frequency of precision editing in the germlines of three animal models (Caenorhabditis elegans, zebrafish and mice) and in cultured human cells. The findings were published in eLife this week.
