Plot highlighting the increasing popularity of sRNAs, TALEs and CRISPR/Cas in the published primary literature over the last 13 years. Web of Science was used to quantify the number of publications for each year using the following search criteria: (i) sRNA, TS=(sRNA) OR TI=(sRNA), (ii) TALEs, TS=(TAL effector) OR TS=(Transcription activator-like effector) OR TI=(TAL effector) OR TI=(Transcription activator-like effector), and (iii) CRISPR/Cas, TS=(CRISPR) OR TS=(clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) OR TI=(CRISPR) OR TI=(clustered regularly interspaced short. For each search TS = Topic and TI = Title.
