[HTML][HTML] Directed evolution of CRISPR-Cas9 to increase its specificity

…, E Jeong, J Lee, M Jung, E Shin, Y Kim, K Lee… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
The use of CRISPR-Cas9 as a therapeutic reagent is hampered by its off-target effects.
Although rationally designed S. pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) variants that display higher …

[HTML][HTML] Sniper2L is a high-fidelity Cas9 variant with high activity

…, I Okafor, S Choi, S Min, J Lee, SM Bae, K Choi… - Nature chemical …, 2023 - nature.com
Although several high-fidelity SpCas9 variants have been reported, it has been observed
that this increased specificity is associated with reduced on-target activity, limiting the …

[HTML][HTML] TAPE-seq is a cell-based method for predicting genome-wide off-target effects of prime editor

J Kwon, M Kim, S Bae, A Jo, Y Kim, JK Lee - Nature Communications, 2022 - nature.com
Prime editors (PEs) are powerful tools that widen the possibilities for sequence modifications
during genome editing. Although methods based on the analysis of Cas9 nuclease or …

Synthesis and stability of small molecule probes for Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing modulation

FG Glansdorp, GL Thomas, JK Lee… - Organic & …, 2004 - pubs.rsc.org
The human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses N-butyryl-L-homoserine lactone (BHL)
