Forced expression of MSR repeat transcripts above a threshold limit breaks heterochromatin organisation

Abstract Mouse heterochromatin is characterised by transcriptionally competent major satellite repeat (MSR) sequences and it has been proposed that MSR RNA contributes to the integrity of heterochromatin. We establish an inducible dCas9-effector system in mouse embryonic fibroblasts, where we can mo...
