New preprint from our lab!

What can we learn about the properties of gene regulatory elements by CRISPR’ing a random set of accessible sites in human cells?

Excited for a major milestone in our efforts to map enhancers and interpret variants in the human genome:

The E2G Portal! e2g.stanford.edu

This collates our predictions of enhancer-gene regulatory interactions across >1,600 cell types and tissues.

Our latest work now online in Cell:

Rewriting regulatory DNA to dissect and reprogram gene expression

Our new method (Variant-EFFECTS) uses high-throughput prime editing + flow sorting + sequencing to precisely measure effects of noncoding variants on gene expression
