Studies have identified the presence of two types of HIV-infected CD4+ T cells: ‘Transcriptionally inactive’ cells that do not typically produce viral RNA or viral proteins. Transcriptionally active’ cells in which HIV RNA is actively transcribed to make copies of the virus (despite long-term ART).

This approach has led to the development of two software packages for RNA sequencing analysis and reproducible ribosomal profiling 1,2. For example, we recently collaborated with two sequencing laboratories to determine optimal parameters for RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) in the context of a vaccine clinical trial.

Inducing double strand breaks at unintended locations in the genome can lead to off-target genetic modifications that are difficult to predict and potentially deleterious. Complicating matters even more, researchers currently lack effective and reliable methods for detecting and measuring off-target genomic events.

Kevin Hemphill, R&D Manager at PerkinElmer’s Horizon Discovery explores how base editing has emerged as an attractive gene editing option for researchers wanting to develop stem cell-based therapies. Adult fibroblasts were cultured in a cocktail of transcription factors to reactivate embryonic gene expression patterns 2.

The study was published in the journal Science Translational Medicine. The gene, called KDM6A , is a histone demethylase that is believed to function as a tumor suppressor. However, in both mice and humans, a small number of genes escape this process, which gives females twice the dose of protein products encoded by the genes.

First off, genetically encoding desired features into living cells requires designing an appropriate vector, successfully transfecting it across the cell membrane, integrating the new DNA into the host’s genome, and finally, a reporting marker to examine changes. This approach has been around for a while.
