Directed evolution using dCas9-targeted somatic hypermutation in mammalian cells
Engineering and study of protein function by directed evolution has been limited by the
technical requirement to use global mutagenesis or introduce DNA libraries. Here, we develop …

Synergistic drug combinations for cancer identified in a CRISPR screen for pairwise genetic interactions
Identification of effective combination therapies is critical to address the emergence of drug-resistant
cancers, but direct screening of all possible drug combinations is infeasible. Here …

[HTML][HTML] Genome-scale measurement of off-target activity using Cas9 toxicity in high-throughput screens
CRISPR-Cas9 screens are powerful tools for high-throughput interrogation of genome function,
but can be confounded by nuclease-induced toxicity at both on- and off-target sites, likely …

A CRISPR-based screen for Hedgehog signaling provides insights into ciliary function and ciliopathies
Primary cilia organize Hedgehog signaling and shape embryonic development, and their
dysregulation is the unifying cause of ciliopathies. We conducted a functional genomic screen …

Transcriptomic signatures across human tissues identify functional rare genetic variation
INTRODUCTION The human genome contains tens of thousands of rare (minor allele frequency
<1%) variants, some of which contribute to disease risk. Using 838 samples with whole-…
