Breast cancer risk prediction technology using genomic classifier

Breast cancer risk prediction technology using genomic classifier

Unmet Need The earliest form of breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), is diagnosed in almost 50,000 people in the U.S. each year. DCIS is considered noninvasive, as abnormal cells have not spread out…

Novel epigenome editors for multiplexed gene regulation

Novel epigenome editors for multiplexed gene regulation

Unmet Need Epigenome editors activate or inhibit gene expression without modifying the underlying DNA sequence. Consequently, these editors can reversibly fine-tune gene expression without the risk of permanently altering the genome or off-target editing. Epigenome…

A robust and sensitive assay for simultaneous measurement of transcriptome, chromatin accessibility, and cis-regulatory chromatin contacts

A robust and sensitive assay for simultaneous measurement of transcriptome, chromatin accessibility, and cis-regulatory chromatin contacts

Unmet Need Cis-regulatory elements (cREs) of the genome are non-coding regions that play essential roles in regulating gene expression in development and disease. Importantly, these regions are characterized by the presence of “open” chromatin and…

A CRISPR-based system for modifying the length of 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTR) of an mRNA transcript that offers novel treatment strategies for prostate cancer and other diseases

A CRISPR-based system for modifying the length of 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTR) of an mRNA transcript that offers novel treatment strategies for prostate cancer and other diseases

Unmet Need Abnormal length changes in the 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR) of mRNAs are associated with many diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, α-thalassemia, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, and cancer. While existing technologies can manipulate expression…
