Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic editing is an emerging technology that uses artificial transcription factors (aTFs) to regulate expression of a target gene. Although human genes can be robustly upregulated by targeting aTFs to promoters, the activation induced by directing aTFs to distal transcriptional enhancers is substantially less robust and consistent. Here we show that long-range activation using CRISPR-based aTFs in human...
