Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, kits, and compositions for improving the efficiency of homologous recombination. In particular, the disclosure relates to methods for cloning DNA molecules directly into a genome with the combined use of promoter trapping and short homology arms, nuclear localization signal, and/or binding one or more DNA binding agents (TAL effector domain or truncated guide RNA bound by Cas9) to specific sites thereby displacing or restructuring chromatin at the target locus, and/or it increasing the accessibility of the target locus to further enzymatic modifications. The methods and compositions provided herein are, inter alia, useful for genome editing and enhancing enzymatic processes involved therein.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to compositions and methods for genetic modification of cells. In particular, the disclosure relates to stabilized reagents for genome alteration (e.g., site specific nucleases), as well as stabilized reagents for non-genetic code altering modification (e.g., DNA methylation). Stabilization methods include storage of reagents at suitable temperatures, conversion to dry forms, and chemical modifications.

Abstract: The present invention is in the fields of molecular and cellular biology. The invention is generally related to reverse transcriptase enzymes and methods for the reverse transcription of nucleic acid molecules, especially messenger RNA molecules. Specifically, the invention relates to reverse transcriptase enzymes which have been mutated or modified to increase thermostability, decrease terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase activity, and/or increase fidelity, and to methods of producing, amplifying or sequencing nucleic acid molecules (particularly cDNA molecules) using these reverse transcriptase enzymes or compositions. The invention also relates to nucleic acid molecules produced by these methods and to the use of such nucleic acid molecules to produce desired polypeptides. The invention also concerns kits comprising such enzymes or compositions.
