So, we teamed up with Anne and Paul’s lab, along with Calvin Jan at Calico, with the aim of building an accessible & unbiased high-content cell profiling platform that could be applied to genome-scale CRISPR screens (Project PERISCOPE).

We’re big fans of using expression-based profiling (specifically Perturb-seq) to generate high-dimensional phenotypic profiles of perturbed cells, and w/ @oana-ursu.bsky.social & @boehmjesse.bsky.social have used it successfully for generating variant effect maps (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

The functional impact of somatic mutations in cancer genes is determined by pooled Perturb-seq.

This is such an important new technology for the future of CRISPR functional genomics for biomedicine. Congrats to @jtneal.bsky.social @drannecarpenter.bsky.social Paul Blainey and their amazing labs for this tour-de-force success!
