A novel two-step genome editing strategy with CRISPR-Cas9 provides new insights into telomerase action and TERT gene expression

A novel two-step genome editing strategy with CRISPR-Cas9 provides new insights into telomerase action and TERT gene expression | Genetic Engineering Publications - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
BigField GEG Tech's insight:

To overcome the low CRISPR-Cas9 editing efficiency at the TERT locus, the scientists develop a two-step “pop-in/pop-out” strategy to enrich cells that underwent homologous recombination (HR). This method provides a useful tool for studying telomerase biology, and suggests a general approach to edit loci with low targeting efficiency and to purify and visualize low abundance proteins.

TALEN Gene Knockouts Reveal No Requirement for the Conserved Human Shelterin Protein Rap1 in Telomere Protection and Length Regulation - Cell Reports

TALEN Gene Knockouts Reveal No Requirement for the Conserved Human Shelterin Protein Rap1 in Telomere Protection and Length Regulation - Cell Reports | Genetic Engineering Publications - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
BigField GEG Tech's insight:

As human Rap1, like its mouse and unicellular orthologs, affects gene expression, the authors propose that the conservation of Rap1 reflects its role in transcriptional regulation rather than a function at telomeres.
