Abstract

Besides genome editing, the CRISPR-Cas9-based platform provides a new way of engineering artificial transcription factors (ATFs). Multiplex of guide RNA (gRNA) expression cassettes holds a great promise for many useful applications of CRISPR-Cas9. In this chapter, we provide a detailed protocol for building advanced multiplexed CRISPR-dCas9-Activator/repressor T-DNA vectors for carrying out transcriptional activation or repression experiments in plants. We specifically describe the assembly of multiplex T-DNA vectors that can express multiple gRNAs to activate a silenced gene, or to repress two independent miRNA genes simultaneously in Arabidopsis. We then describe a "higher-order" vector assembly method for increased multiplexing capacity. This higher-order assembly method in principle allows swift stacking of gRNAs cassettes that are only limited by the loading capacity of a cloning or expression vector.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 October 2017.
All research outputs
#7,540,801
of 23,005,189 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#2,341
of 13,159 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#153,661
of 442,254 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#230
of 1,498 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,005,189 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,159 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,254 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,498 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
