This post was contributed by guest blogger, Leo Vo, a PhD candidate in the Sternberg Lab at Columbia University Medical Center. DNA transposons are ubiquitous genetic elements capable of spreading within and between genomes, and have been adapted for a wide variety of ...
This blog post was originally written by Caroline LaManna, published Mar 8, 2016. The updated and expanded version by Nyla Naim was published Sept 3, 2020. Scientists around the world have been making major improvements to CRISPR technology since its initial applications for ...
Originally published Dec 7, 2017 and updated Jul 2, 2020. Promoters may be the star of gene regulation, but enhancers and chromatin looping play important supporting roles. Enhancers are cis regulatory DNA sequences that, when bound by transcription factors, can increase a ...
If you’re using CRISPR to make a genome edit, how do you know if your CRISPR experiment was successful in your organism or cell type? You can use DNA sequencing or other molecular cloning techniques to determine CRISPR/sgRNA efficiency of an experiment and confirm the correct ...
Originally published Aug 30, 2018 and updated April 16, 2020. Sensitive and specific nucleic acid detection is crucial for clinical diagnostics, genotyping, and biotechnological advancements. Many methods of nucleic acid detection however, either lack the sensitivity or the ...
In this quarterly blog series, we’ll highlight a few of the new CRISPR plasmids available at Addgene. We will still periodically focus on specific CRISPR plasmid tools more in-depth, but we hope that this blog series will help you find more new CRISPR tools for your research! ...
