New CRISPR-Based Map Ties Every Human Gene to Its Function
11th June 2022
Jonathan Weissman and collaborators used their single-cell sequencing tool Perturb-seq on every expressed gene in the human genome, linking each to its job in the cell.
That’s necessary but not sufficient. We also need a map of how the non-gene sequences determine how genes are expressed. Still, it’s a great step forward.
