New 🧬✂️ pre-print! We show that paired prime editing can efficiently generate large deletions — even >1 Mb — with high precision and at scale. We use this to perform the first pooled prime deletion screen across the human genome.

A short thread (by Juliane Weller)👇
Generating long deletions across the genome with pooled paired prime editing screens
Engineered deletions are a powerful probe for studying genome architecture, function, and regulation. Yet, the lack of effective methods to create them in large numbers and at multi-kilobase scale has...

We've been screening across many DNA construct structures with variable number/size of interesting regions - e.g. spacer, extension and barcode for prime editing. There wasn't a widely used tool to process these complex structured reads so I ended up developing github.com/allydunham/d....

We are happy to share our enhancer scramble story, a strategy to create hundreds of stochastic deletions, inversions, and duplications within mammalian gene regulatory regions and associate these new architectures with gene expression levels 🧵
