CRISPR-Based Tool Maps Gene Function in Human Cells

Friday, July 20, 2018 - 09:00 in Biology & Nature

UC San Francisco scientists have used a high-throughput CRISPR-based technique to rapidly map the functions of nearly 500 genes in human cells, many of them never before studied in detail. The research generated a vast amount of novel genetic data, including identifying new genes involved in cellular energy production and explaining a long-standing mystery about […]
