Using CRISPR to knockout an essential gene
Genome editing technology enabled by CRISPR and TALEN has become mainstream. Most cell biology labs are engaged in projects to create custom cell lines with knock-outs and knock-ins, and companies such
Cas9 mRNA optimized for genome editing
CRISPR/Cas9 is relatively simple to
Luciferase promoter reporter clones
Cell-based assays, screening for pathway activation or inhibition are classically done with promoter reporter clones expressing Firefly luciferase. Brighter, more stable, more sensitive, more convenient
Achieve success with RNA-based CRISPR-CAS9 knock-out
RNA-based CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing is a vector-free approach that is required for therapeutic perspectives. However, from a practical point of view, what appears as a major challenge to engineer
How to produce high yield capped mRNA
Messenger RNA can be used for protein expression into the cells. The delivery of mRNA is the delivery of a new function that can activate a biological process. In the particular case of the CAS9 mRNA,
How to obtain reliable DNA and RNA quantitation
The iQuant kits developped by ABP Bioprobes provide accurate quantitation of DNA and RNA with a wide range including high sensitivity. They are useful for NGS applications, qPCR analysis, and in
New - you know CRISPR, now it's Prime Editing
This month, a new leap forward in gene editing has been published in Nature under the title 'Search-and-replace genome editing without double-strand breaks or donor DNA'. DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1711-4.
How can CRISPR/Cas9 be used to edit genomes?
Genes are key components of our lives. With many other factors, they contribute to shaping us, making people and any other living organism what they are. Genomes, whether human or not, are able
