Measurements of changes in gene activation and expression provide a basis to understand genetic changes that cause biological responses. Cell-to-cell gene disruption induced by Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR) technology and other gene-perturbation technologies help tease out the drivers of these responses. Adaptations of these two screening approaches can be used to discover the genetic drivers responsible for phenotypic variabilities such as drug sensitivities and disease variation across tissue microenvironments and between single cells.
Join this webinar to get an overview of recent publications illustrating the successful use of functional CRISPR screening and other related methods.
