Multiplexed activation of endogenous genes by CRISPR-on, an RNA-guided transcriptional activator system

Technologies allowing for specific regulation of endogenous genes are valuable for the study of gene functions and have great potential in therapeutics. We created the CRISPR-on system, a two-component transcriptional activator consisting of a nuclease-dead Cas9 (dCas9) protein fused with a transcri...
