Enhancers control the spatiotemporal expression of genes and are essential for encoding differentiation and development. Since their discovery more than three decades ago, researchers have largely studied enhancers removed from their genomic context. The recent adaptation of CRISPR/Cas9 to genome editing in higher organisms now allows researchers to perturb and test these elements in their genomic context, through both mutation and epigenetic modulation. In this Perspective, we discuss recent advances in scanning noncoding regions of the genome for enhancer activity using CRISPR-based tools.

利用基于 CRISPR 的筛选鉴定新型增强子元件



增强子控制基因的时空表达,对于编码分化和发育至关重要。自从三十多年前发现增强子以来,研究人员主要研究了从基因组背景中移除的增强子。最近,CRISPR/Cas9 适应了高等生物的基因组编辑,现在研究人员可以通过突变和表观遗传调节,在基因组环境中扰乱和测试这些元素。在本视角中,我们讨论了使用基于 CRISPR 的工具扫描基因组非编码区域增强子活性的最新进展。
