The present disclosure provides methods and compositions of modulating expression of a target nucleic acid in a eukaryotic cell. The methods include providing to the cell a guide RNA complementary to the target nucleic acid sequence, providing to the cell a fusion protein, wherein the fusion protein comprises a nuclease null Cas9 protein and a transcriptional effector domain, wherein the nuclease null Cas9 protein interacts with the guide RNA and binds to the target nucleic acid sequence in a site specific manner and wherein the transcriptional effector domain modulates expression of the target nucleic acid.
