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 ...
