Genetic Screens

5.2K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Genomics

38.0K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

  • This knowledge gap limits the translation of genomic insights into effective human disease treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of CRISPR functional genomics tools for characterizing gene and gene regulatory element functions.
  • To enable scalable and multiplexable analysis of the human genome.
  • To advance the understanding of gene function, regulation, and their roles in complex phenotypes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing CRISPR-based functional genomics tools.
  • Implementing scalable and multiplexable experimental designs.
  • Characterizing genes and gene regulatory elements within the human genome.

Main Results:

  • CRISPR functional genomics tools offer a scalable approach to study gene function.
  • These tools facilitate multiplexable characterization of gene regulatory elements.
  • The methods allow for the investigation of gene interactions in modulating complex phenotypes.

Conclusions:

  • New CRISPR functional genomics tools are crucial for deciphering gene and regulatory element functions.
  • These advanced techniques promise to reveal fundamental mechanisms of gene regulation.
  • Understanding gene function and interaction is key to exploring complex human diseases.
