Wish you could develop Bioconductor-like workflows in Python? You can!

Don't miss out on @jayaram's BiocPy workshop tomorrow at #bioc2024 https://t.co/XN4cs4c4KZ

Powerful use of the RNA-targeting Csm complex!

We've now extended the crisprVerse to make CRISPR-Csm gRNA design easy: https://t.co/VlEr7X9fwf

[HaleyLab @labohaley]

Published (and open access)! Super excited to share the final version of our manuscript describing an enhanced mutagenic base editing platform for use in functional genomic screening. See original tweetorial for more details.

At the core, the pipeline is using the excellent packages from the #crisprVerse suite for #R #bioconductor, developed by the team around @JayPykw . Many thanks for this great foundational work 👏

[Jean-Philippe Fortin @JayPykw]

Our Data Science and Statistical Computing group in the Genentech Computational Hub is seeking a highly motivated Principal Scientist to lead the development of methods and computational tools for genomics workflows.

Do you ever look at something amazing someone in your lab has done and say "Wow; this is awesome!"? Well, here's a very short story starring @DongzeHe! As part of simpleaf (https://t.co/y5ydyQtW0b), we rely on another package we wrote called pyroe (https://t.co/u10b3AKB9O). 1/15

[Jayaram Kancherla @jayaram]

a year ago we (+@realAaronLun) announced Kana (https://t.co/rquL0IAITm), to perform #singlecell analysis in the browser powered by #webassembly. This week we released version 3 to support multi-modal data analysis, gene set enrichment and exploration of pre-analyzed results (1/n)

New preprint! What is all that non-coding DNA doing?
To understand if and how non-coding sequences regulate gene expression, we need scalable and reliable perturbation methods

Delighted to present the @ENCODE_NIH Multi-center integrated analysis of non-coding CRISPR screens!

#Illumina's MethylationEPIC v2.0 BeadChip is now available! 935K methylation sites for the same price as EPICv1.0. Learn more here: https://t.co/P5eSKfABgJ

[Kristin Knouse @kristinknouse]

Thrilled to share our lab’s first paper in which we establish genome-wide CRISPR screening within a single mouse! We are so excited about the power of this platform to enable high-throughput genetic dissection of diverse phenomena within a living mammal.

Today we report in @NatureBiotech the conversion of adenine base editors (ABE) into next-generation cytosine base editors (TadCBEs) with high on-target activity and reduced off-target activity using phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE). 1/14

[Jean-Philippe Fortin @JayPykw]

@aaron_mckenna Thank you!

[Jean-Philippe Fortin @JayPykw]

crisprVerse is an open-source ecosystem, and builds on top of the rich and versatile @Bioconductor project.

Check out our GitHub page:

[Jean-Philippe Fortin @JayPykw]

Our crisprVerse paper is out in @NatureComms.

We developed a one-stop shop CRISPR gRNA design tool that works with any nuclease and genome, and includes functionalities for CRISPRko, CRISPRa, CRISPRi, base editing, and RNA-editing.
