Article Abstract
Prime editing uses the Cas9 nickase fused to a reverse transcriptase to copy a DNA sequence into a specific locus from a 'prime editing' guide RNA (pegRNA), eliminating the need for double-stranded DNA breaks and donor DNA templates. To facilitate prime editing in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), we integrated a doxycycline-inducible Prime Editor protein (PE2) into the AAVS1 genomic safe harbor locus. Prime editing of iPSCs resulted in precise insertion of three nucleotides in HEK3 locus with high efficiency, demonstrating the utility of this approach. This engineered cell line can be used to edit a single or multiple genomic loci by introducing a target-specific pegRNA for precise and effective genome editing to facilitate disease modeling and functional genetics studies.

Genetic variants affecting RNA stability influence complex traits and disease risk.

Gene expression is modulated jointly by transcriptional regulation and messenger RNA stability, yet the latter is often overlooked in studies on genetic variants. Here, leveraging metabolic labeling data (Bru/BruChase-seq) and a new computational pipeline, RNAtracker, we categorize genes as allele-specific RNA stability (asRS) or allele-specific RNA transcription events. We identify more than 5,000 asRS variants among 665 genes across a panel of 11 human cell lines.

As global climate change exacerbates extreme heat events, the interplay between heat stress and blast disease resistance in rice remains poorly understood. In this study, through integrated transcriptome profiling and systematic phenotyping of mutants in several thermosensory pathways, we identified HsfA1 as a positive regulator of heat priming-enhanced blast resistance in rice. Systematic analysis of microRNA (miRNA) dynamics, bioinformatics prediction, and RNA pull-down experiments revealed that , a temperature-responsive miRNA, directly suppresses the expression of by targeting the second exon of messenger RNA (mRNA).

Parasites of the Leishmania donovani complex are responsible for visceral leishmaniasis, a vector-borne disease transmitted through the bite of female phlebotomine sand flies. As well as the human hosts, these parasites infect many mammals which can serve as reservoirs. Dogs are particularly important reservoirs.

Species-specific developmental timing is largely recapitulated in stem cell models, suggesting a cell-intrinsic clock. Here we use directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into neuroectoderm to perform a whole-genome CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen and show that the epigenetic factors Menin and SUZ12 modulate the speed of PAX6 expression during neural differentiation.
