CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas (CRISPR-associated) technology is a versatile genome editing tool that has been used to improve agriculturally important plant traits. Due to its precision, CRISPR/Cas9 is more effective than either conventional plant breeding methods or standard genetic engineering approaches for the rapid development of new varieties resilient to climate change. In addition to knowledge in tissue culture-based plant transformation, effective gene-specific single guide RNA (sgRNA) design, prediction of its off-target effect and utilization of vectors, promoters, Cas proteins and terminators is required for CRISPR/Cas9. Various bioinformatics tools are available for the best sgRNA design and screening of the off-targets. Various tools are used in the delivery of CRISPR/Cas components into cells and the genome. Moreover, some recent studies proved the simultaneous silencing of different paralogs in the same family or several genes working in the same pathway by using multiple-target sgRNA designs. This review summarizes the type of promoters, Cas proteins, recognition sequences, and terminators available for the development of knock-out and overexpression plant lines. It also provides a general guideline for the development of genome-edited plants from the design of sgRNAs to the selection of non-transgenic genome-edited T-2 generation.

Advances in CRISPR/Cas9 Technology for in Vivo Translation
Cicek, Yagiz Anil; Luther, David C.; Kretzmann, Jessica A.; Rotello, Vincent M. (Pharmaceutical Society of Japan, 2019-03-01)
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) technology has revolutionized therapeutic gene editing by providing researchers with a new method to study and cure diseases previously considered untreatable. While the full range and power of CRISPR technology for therapeutics is being elucidated through in vitro studies, translation to in vivo studies is slow. To date there is no totally effective delivery strategy to carry CRISPR components to the target...
Development of a genetic material transfer approach for gene therapy
Ayaz, Şerife; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biotechnology (2005)
This thesis is focused on the development of a gene delivery system, especially for the purpose of DNA vaccination. DNA expression vectors have the potential to be useful therapeutics for a wide variety of applications. A carrier system was designed to realize the delivery of genes to cells and the promotion of controlled adequate expression in the target cells. The low gene delivery efficiency observed with systems composed of polyplexes is mainly due to low stability of polycation e.g polyethylenimine-DNA...
Development of qcm based dna biosensors for detection of genetically modified organisms
Karamollaoğlu, İrem; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biology (2007)
A great effort has been recently devoted to the development of new devices for the detection of specific sequences of DNA, due to increasing need of label - free, fast, cheap, and miniaturized analytical systems able to detect target sequences for screening purposes, especially in food industry for genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In this study, development of a QCM - based DNA biosensor for the detection of the hybridisation of CaMV 35S promoter sequence (P35S) was investigated. Attention was focused...
A Framework for gene co-expression network analysis of lung cancer
Akdemir, Erhan; Can, Tolga; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Department of Bioinformatics (2013)
Construction method of a gene co-expression network (GCN) is crucial in medical research aiming to reveal disease related genes. Applied similarity measure and selection of edges that represent significantly co-expressed gene pairs in the network affect directly the elements of a network and so the list of prioritized genes. Pearson correlation coefficient is a commonly used similarity measure to quantify co-expressions of genes due to its simplicity and performance compared to many complex methods. However...
