Functional annotation of native enhancers with a Cas9–histone demethylase fusion

Targeting a histone demethylase to specific enhancers with Cas9 allows modification of epigenetic marks at the enhancers. Understanding of mammalian enhancers is limited by the lack of a technology to rapidly and thoroughly test the cell type–specific function. Here, we use a nuclease-deficient Cas9...
