Reposted by @allydunham.bsky.socialLeopold Parts @leopoldparts.bsky.social · 05/11/2025New 🧬✂️ pre-print! We show that paired prime editing can efficiently generate large deletions — even >1 Mb — with high precision and at scale. We use this to perform the first pooled prime deletion screen across the human genome. 🔗 biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A short thread (by Juliane Weller)👇biorxiv.orgGenerating long deletions across the genome with pooled paired prime editing screensEngineered deletions are a powerful probe for studying genome architecture, function, and regulation. Yet, the lack of effective methods to create them in large numbers and at multi-kilobase scale has... 34520
allydunham.bsky.social @allydunham.bsky.social · 13/10/2025We've been screening across many DNA construct structures with variable number/size of interesting regions - e.g. spacer, extension and barcode for prime editing. There wasn't a widely used tool to process these complex structured reads so I ended up developing github.com/allydunham/d....github.comGitHub - allydunham/dnacomb: CLI tool for flexibly parsing structured sequence reads into count tables and comparing them to expected librariesCLI tool for flexibly parsing structured sequence reads into count tables and comparing them to expected libraries - allydunham/dnacomb 163
