Competition-based CRISPR-dCas9 transcriptional control mechanisms and application of dCas9 biosensors for high-throughput, cell-based protease inhibitor screens

Catalytically-dead Cas9 (dCas9) is a programmable transcription factor that can be targeted to promoters through the design of small guide RNAs (sgRNAs), where it can function as an activator or repressor. In Chapter 1 of this thesis, I outline the multitude of tools and applications that have been...
