Developments in CRISPR/Cas9-based technologies provide a new paradigm in functional screening of the genome. Conventional screening methods have focused on high-throughput perturbations of the protein-coding genome with technologies such as RNAi. However, equivalent methods for perturbing the non-coding genome have not existed until recently. CRISPR-based screening of genomic DNA has enabled the study...
Overexpression of exogenous fate-specifying transcription factors can directly reprogram differentiated somatic cells to target cell types. Here, we show that similar reprogramming can also be achieved through the direct activation of endogenous genes using engineered CRISPR/Cas9-based transcriptional activators. We use this approach to induce activation of the endogenous Brn2, Ascl1, and Myt1l genes...
