New paper! A team led by @dbuendia.bsky.social and group leader Arturo Marí-Ordóñez at the GMI of the @oeaw.bsky.social investigated how plants silence potentially parasitic transposons when these “jumping genes” take over most of the genome.

Multiplexed perturbation enables scalable pooled screens - Nature Methods
This paper shows that high MOI sgRNA multiplexing maintains CRISPRi screen performance while enabling reduced cell numbers, challenging conventional reliance on low-MOI infections.

A project from my postdoc in the McManus lab @mcmanuslab.bsky.social at UCSF @ucsfdc.bsky.social is out today 🎉

For years, pooled CRISPR screens have operated under a central assumption: one perturbation per cell.

We challenged that assumption. 🤯
