The amazing @shawnfayer.bsky.social has developed a saturation genome editing method in iPSCs enabling MAVEs in differentiated cell types and diploid contexts. Please check it out!
And, for some lucky department, Shawn is on the faculty job market!

The effects of genetic variants primarily occur in differentiated cells meaning we need to access these cell types to measure variant effects for most disease genes. We developed saturation genome editing in stem cells (iPSC-SGE) to enable phenotyping in diverse genetic and cell contexts at scale!
Editing stem cell genomes at scale to measure variant effects in diverse cell and genetic contexts
Multiplexed assays of variant effect (MAVEs) systematically measure variant function but have been limited to cancer cell lines rather than disease-relevant cell types. We developed saturation genome ...

This is an enormous team effort that I had the honour of spearheading with Nick Page and Florence Chardon.

Super excited about first Shendure/Baker Lab collaboration & preprint on a multiplex sequencing-based strategy for screening de novo proteome editors in mammalian cells. Kudos to the brilliant Chase Suiter (not here) & @greenahn.bsky.social on the work! Preprint here:

New paper from my lab and @jshendure.bsky.social lab! Led by the brilliant @zukailiu.bsky.social and @cxqiu.bsky.social. We tackled how anterior and posterior progenitor cells cooperate to self-organize into an embryonic structure (termed AP-gastruloid). (1/n) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out our new paper by postdoc Debasish Paul, out now in @Nature.com. Cells need a boost of energy to jumpstart the cell cycle, but how can this happen while the APC/C is inhibiting glycolysis? We found cells solve this paradox through a highly dynamic mechanism.

Transient APC/C inactivation by mTOR boosts glycolysis during cell cycle entry - Nature
APC/C activity is transiently inhibited to generate a pulse of glycolysis that is required for mammalian cell cycle entry.
