Modifying CRISPR-Cas9 proteins with ligands enables targeting of individual G-quadruplex and i-motif structures!
Great to see this work finally out - congratulations @DiAntonioLAB1 and team ❤️
Want to modify CRISPR-proteins with small molecules? Check out our new method ATENA just published in @NatureComms! ATENA enables single-site engagement in the genome with unprecedented control and selectivity!

Happy to share our latest preprint describing the first genome-wide map of G4s in T.Brucei led by the amazing @LudovicaMonti. We found that G4s accumulate in coding regions of the parasite, causing transcriptional perturbation upon treatment with ligands.

We have developed an entirely new mechanism of action for gene knockdown -> trafficking of targeted mRNAs to the lysosomal, using lysosomal trafficking oligonucleotides (LyTONs)!
