We've published a new paper
We’re happy to announce that our latest paper – A competitive precision CRISPR method to identify the fitness effects of transcription factor binding sites – was published in the Nature Biotechnologies journal on 26 September 2022!
Abstract
Here we describe a competitive genome editing method that measures the effect of mutations on molecular functions, based on precision CRISPR editing using template libraries with either the original or altered sequence, and a sequence tag, enabling direct comparison between original and mutated cells.
Using the example of the MYC oncogene, we identify important transcriptional targets and show that E-box mutations at MYC target gene promoters reduce cellular fitness.
