CRISPR Resources

To make targeted epigenetic modifications, researchers have fused catalytically dead dCas9 to epigenetic modifiers. Design your gRNA to target a specific promoter or enhancer for your gene of interest.

Available modifications include:

  • histone acetylation by p300
  • histone demethylation by LSD1
  • cytosine methylation by DNMT3A or MQ1
  • cytosine demethylation by Tet1

These modifications persist over time and are potentially heritable in dividing cells. CRISPR Activate and Interfere technologies also indirectly modify local chromatin state.
