RNA-coupled CRISPR screens reveal ZNF207 as a regulator of LMNA aberrant splicing in progeria

This study introduces CRASP-seq, an RNA-coupled CRISPR screening platform designed to systematically identify regulatory factors and domains of alternative pre-mRNA splicing. Using this technology, ZNF207 is identified as a bona fide splicing regulator through its interaction with U1 snRNP components. ZNF207 modulates aberrant LMNA splicing, a critical event linked to progeria.

RNA is far more than a messenger. Its structures regulate, evolve, and catalyze — carrying out functions DNA alone cannot. But predicting #RNA structure from sequence is still extremely difficult. In our recently published paper in @narjournal.bsky.social we present a way forward. 🧵 ⤵️
