How can we identify circRNAs that might be functional? Together with @jengreitz.bsky.social, Howard Chang, and team, we found that answering this question is much more challenging than previously thought! academic.oup.com/nar/article/... See thread below:

Junction-targeting designs limit the application of CRISPR-Cas13d in circular RNA perturbation studies
Abstract. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are RNA molecules formed through the backsplicing of linear exons. Several thousand have been identified, yet relatively

I am elated to share that our manuscript describing Variant-EFFECTS, a high-throughput technology we developed to precisely and quantitatively measure the effects of CRISPR-mediated edits on gene expression, is now published at @cellpress.bsky.social: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kxgiL7PXu...

Modern GWAS can identify 1000s of significant hits but it can be hard to turn this into biological insight. What key cellular functions link genetic variation to disease? I'm very excited to present our new work combining associations and Perturb-seq to build interpretable causal graphs! A 🧵
