Abstract
We combined CRISPR activation of all 1,836 known human transcription factors with high-throughput Perturb-seq to recreate the diverse transcriptional states occupied by fibroblasts in vivo. Our study revealed regulators of key states and showed that inducing normal states can, in some cases, suppress those linked to disease.
期刊介绍:
Nature Genetics publishes the very highest quality research in genetics. It encompasses genetic and functional genomic studies on human and plant traits and on other model organisms. Current emphasis is on the genetic basis for common and complex diseases and on the functional mechanism, architecture and evolution of gene networks, studied by experimental perturbation.
Integrative genetic topics comprise, but are not limited to:
-Genes in the pathology of human disease
-Molecular analysis of simple and complex genetic traits
-Cancer genetics
-Agricultural genomics
-Developmental genetics
-Regulatory variation in gene expression
-Strategies and technologies for extracting function from genomic data
-Pharmacological genomics
-Genome evolution
