  2. Frases usadas por mis alumnos de medicina luego de completar sus proyectos en el laboratorio: • Me siento parte del “puente” entre ciencias básicas y medicina • Por fin entiendo éste artículo • Comprendo la diferencia entre saber qué hacer con el paciente, y saber por qué hacerlo • Nunca aprendí en la escuela la disciplina mental para planear, ejecutar y publicar un proyecto • Es la única disciplina en que trato de probarme a mí mismo que estoy equivocado • He adquirido un instrumento que lo puedo aplicar al resto de mi vida • Investigación me “cambió” el cerebro • Creo que soy un mejor médico • Por fin me gusta Medicina • Esto ha sido lo más divertido de mi vida

  16. CRISPR Variants • Effector Domains • Transcription repression • Transcription promotion • Fluorescent reporter • DNA modification: methylase • Histone modification: acetylase • Recombinase • Scaffolding • Genomic Switch • Chemical switch • Light switch

  17. CRISPR Applications – Bacteria / Viruses • Bacterial genotyping • Strain phylogeny, genetic trajectory • Epidemiology, outbreak investigation, industrial surveillance • Anti-viral effects • Virus resistance in industrial cultures • Destruction of proviruses • Destruction of genome-integrated viruses • Anti-plasmid effects • Vaccinate bacteria against virulence factors • Vaccinate bacteria against antibiotic resistance elements • Decrease bacterial plasticity (e.g., transposons) • Integrity and stability of industrial bacteria

  18. CRISPR Applications – Eukaryotes • Genomic editing • “Easy” trangenics • Breaking the “mouse barrier” • Neuropsychiatric models • Modify many genes simultaneously • Model polygenic diseases • Multiplex analysis • Reverse genomics • Analysis of entire pathways • Refinement of GWAS data • Resistance to infections • Gene therapy • Chromosomal rearrangement in cancer • Driver vs passenger mutations in cancer • Synthetic lethality in cancer • CAR-T cell therapy • GMO commercial crops, home plants • GMO cattle, fish, pets • Synthetic biology • Directed evolution • Engineered ecosystems (gene drive)

  19. CRISPR Applications – Effector Fusion • Transcription repression and promotion • Alter expression of many genes • Mimic most diseases • Fluorescent reporter • Chromosomal imaging of repetitive genomic elements • Chromosomal dynamics • DNA modification, Histone modification • Epigenomics • Recombinase • Precise translocations • Forced chromosomal dynamics • Scaffolding • Too many possibilities • Genomic switch
