Long-range CRISPR activation can be enhanced by concurrent recruitment of artificial TFs to the enhancer and promoter of a target gene. This CRISPR activation system can be employed to achieve allele-selective gene upregulation by differentially targeting single-nucleotide polymorphisms embedded in enhancers or other distally located sequences.
