- Biology, Medicine
- Cell stem cell
- 7 April 2016
Developing technologies for efficient and scalable disruption of gene expression will provide powerful tools for studying gene function, developmental pathways, and disease mechanisms. Here, we… Expand
A Systematic Mammalian Genetic Interaction Map Reveals Pathways Underlying Ricin Susceptibility
- M. Bassik, M. Kampmann, +11 authors J. Weissman
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 14 February 2013
Genetic interaction (GI) maps, comprising pairwise measures of how strongly the function of one gene depends on the presence of a second, have enabled the systematic exploration of gene function in… Expand
Compact and highly active next-generation libraries for CRISPR-mediated gene repression and activation
- Max A. Horlbeck, L. Gilbert, +8 authors J. Weissman
- Biology, Medicine
- eLife
- 23 September 2016
We recently found that nucleosomes directly block access of CRISPR/Cas9 to DNA (Horlbeck et al., 2016). Here, we build on this observation with a comprehensive algorithm that incorporates chromatin,… Expand
CRISPRi-based genome-scale identification of functional long noncoding RNA loci in human cells
- S. Liu, Max A. Horlbeck, +14 authors D. Lim
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 6 January 2017
A very focused function for lncRNAs The human genome generates many thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). A very small number of lncRNAs have been shown to be functional. Liu et al. carried out… Expand
A Multiplexed Single-Cell CRISPR Screening Platform Enables Systematic Dissection of the Unfolded Protein Response
- B. Adamson, T. M. Norman, +14 authors J. Weissman
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 1 December 2016
Functional genomics efforts face tradeoffs between number of perturbations examined and complexity of phenotypes measured. We bridge this gap with Perturb-seq, which combines droplet-based… Expand
Single-cell analysis of long non-coding RNAs in the developing human neocortex
- S. Liu, T. Nowakowski, +8 authors D. Lim
- Biology, Medicine
- Genome Biology
- 14 April 2016
BackgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) comprise a diverse class of transcripts that can regulate molecular and cellular processes in brain development and disease. LncRNAs exhibit cell type- and… Expand
Nucleosomes impede Cas9 access to DNA in vivo and in vitro
