Regulating gene expression is important for basic research and therapeutic applications. The epigenome is a record of genetic modifications such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, and epigenetic changes can play a key role in modifying gene expression. With the advent of genome editing technologies, it has become possible to manipulate the epigenome of specific genomic regions to control gene expression. In particular, CRISPR–Cas9 systems have been used widely for epigenome editing due to their high efficiency, versatility, specificity, and ease of use. Here, we describe a protocol for the upregulation of specific genes using the dCas9-SunTag system.
