HIGHLIGHTS

Discover a complete new breakthrough in the way you regulate your genes and feel the fascination of simple complexity.

NEW - NOW - RIGHT HERE

Get the uniCAS toolkit and be part of a fast growing new community of next generation scientific researchers. Discover the great possibilities of uniCAS Toolkit right below!

6 Reasons for loving the uniCAS toolkit

All you need to realize your personal experiments are 6 smart amazingly easy to use tools that come with the uniCAS toolkit. Just use our custom-tailored uniTOOL to generate individual manuals. Best of all: Its all open source and non commercial!

Cas9 makes it possible!

First derived from bacterial immune system this wonderful enzyme is a real multifunctional talent. Specific targeting of DNA has never been easier!

Activation

The activation domain VP16 is able to activate transcription of genes.

Repression

The fusion of the transcriptional repressor domain KRAB leads to synthetic repression of gene expression.

Chromatin modification (Repression)

Specific chromatin modification was achieved by fusing a histone methyltransferase G9a to dCas9. With this protein we are able to specifically repress endogenous gene expression.

uniBAss - Binding Assay

We developed an ELISA based method. With this method we can quantify the binding efficiency of our proteins. We called this binding assay uniBAss. This is a powerful tool for the characterizing the modified dCas9 by assessing it´s DNA binding capacity.
