Genetic disruption of the KLF1 gene to overexpress the γ‐globin gene using the CRISPR/Cas9 system
ConclusionsThe findings obtained in the present study support the induction of an indel mutation in the KLF1 gene leading to a null allele. As a result, the effect of KLF1 on the expression of BCL11A is decreased and its inhibitory effect on γ‐globin gene expression is removed. Application of CRISPR technology to induce an indel in the KLF1 gene in adult erythroid progenitors may provide a method for activating fetal hemoglobin expression in individuals with β‐thalassemia or sickle cell disease.

An in vivo transfection system for inducible gene expression and gene silencing in murine hepatocytes
ConclusionsOur vector system combines Cre‐lox mediated gene mutation with inducible gene expression or gene knock‐down, respectively. It provides the opportunity for rapid and specific modification of hepatocyte gene expression and can be a useful tool for genetic screening approaches and analysis of target genes specifically in genetically engineered mouse models.

Genomic Data Integration in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
We described a novel method to elucidate how these mutations affect gene expression by finding small‐scale signatures to predict the IgVH, NOTCH1 and SF3B1 mutations. We subsequently defined the biological pathways and correlation networks that are involved in the disease development with the potential goal of identifying new druggable targets. MethodsWe modeled a microarray data set consisting of 48807 probes derived from 163 samples. Using Fisher's ratio and Fold change combined with feature elimination allowed us to identify the minimum number of genes with the highest predictive mutation power and subsequently applie...
