Scientists love QuickExtract!

Backed by 3000+ citations, QuickExtract is propelling science forward – from fuelling the CRISPR revolution and conquering microbial studies in space to striving to find answers to COVID-19. See how:

Fanzor is a eukaryotic programmable RNA-guided endonuclease

Saito, M., Xu, P., Faure, G., Maguire, S., Kannan, S., Altae-Tran, H., Vo, S., Desimone, A., Macrae, R. K., & Zhang, F.

RNA-guided systems, which use complementarity between a guide RNA and target nucleic acid sequences for recognition of genetic elements, have a central role in biological processes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Interstrand crosslinking of homologous repair template DNA enhances gene editing in human cells

Ghasemi, H. I., Bacal, J., Yoon, A. C., Tavasoli, K. U., Cruz, C. I., Vu, J. T., Gardner, B. M., & Richardson, C. D.

We describe a strategy to boost the efficiency of gene editing via homology-directed repair (HDR) by covalently modifying the template DNA with interstrand crosslinks.

Targeting TBK1 to overcome resistance to cancer immunotherapy

Sun et al. (2023)

Here we identify the innate immune kinase TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) as a candidate immune-evasion gene in a pooled genetic screen. Using a suite of genetic and pharmacological tools across multiple experimental model systems, we confirm a role for TBK1 as an immune-evasion gene.

Drag-and-drop genome insertion of large sequences without double-strand DNA cleavage using CRISPR-directed integrases

Yarnall et al. (2022)

We present programmable addition via site-specific targeting elements (PASTE), which uses a CRISPR–Cas9 nickase fused to both a reverse transcriptase and serine integrase for targeted genomic recruitment and integration of desired payloads.

Real-Time Culture-Independent Microbial Profiling Onboard the International Space Station Using Nanopore Sequencing

Stahl-Rommel, S., Jain, M., Nguyen, H. N., Arnold, R. R., Auñón-Chancellor, S. M., Sharp, G. M., Castro, C. L., John, K. K., Juul, S., Turner, D. J., Stoddart, D., Paten, B., Akeson, M., Burton, A. S., & Castro-Wallace, S. L.

Here, we report on the development, validation, and implementation of a swab-to-sequencer method that provides a culture-independent solution to real-time microbial profiling onboard the ISS.

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 with SHERLOCK One-Pot Testing

Joung et al. (2020)

Here, we describe a simple test for detection of SARS-CoV-2. The sensitivity of this test is similar to that of reverse-transcription–quantitative polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-qPCR) assays. STOP (SHERLOCK testing in one pot) is a streamlined assay that combines simplified extraction of viral RNA with isothermal amplification and CRISPR-mediated detection.

A 5-min RNA preparation method for COVID-19 detection with RT-qPCR

Ladha, A., Joung, J., Abudayyeh, O. O., Gootenberg, J. S., & Zhang, F.

RNA extraction has become a bottleneck for detection of COVID-19, in part because of reagent shortages. We present here a rapid protocol that circumvents the need for RNA extraction that is compatible with RT-qPCR-based detection methods.

Genome engineering using the CRISPR-Cas9 system

Ran, F. A., Hsu, P., Wright, J., Agarwala, V., Scott, D., & Zhang, F.

Here we describe a set of tools for Cas9-mediated genome editing via nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR) in mammalian cells, as well as generation of modified cell lines for downstream functional studies.
