2023.04 – Our collaborative work with Cigall Kodach’s group is now published in Molecular Cell! We leveraged CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens to target mSWI/SNF subunits individually and in select combinations, followed by single-cell RNA-seq and multi-mic assay (perturb-SHARE-seq). These single-cell subunit perturbation signatures mapped across bulk primary human tumor expression profiles both mirror and predict cBAF loss-of-function status in cancer. [read more…]

2023.03 – Our collaborative paper with Dr. Rong Fan at Yale University is now published in Nature. We present two technologies for spatially resolved, genome-wide, joint profiling of the epigenome and transcriptome by co-sequencing chromatin accessibility/histone modification and gene expression on the same tissue section at near-single-cell resolution.
