High-throughput screening of human genetic variants by pooled prime editing Herger and Kajba etΒ al. introduce a prime editing platform to screen genetic variants for functional effects in haploid human cells. Negative and positive selection screens identify loss-of-function v...

Delighted our work on the development of a prime editing screening platform in HAP1 is now published in Cell Genomics. This was led by Christina Kajba and Michael Herger, who did very well to optimise all aspects. (Preprint thread: x.com/TheGenomeLab...)
