As a proof of concept, we designed probes for key mutations in <i>KRAS</i>, <i>BRAF</i>, <i>EGFR</i> and <i>IDH1</i> genes, optimized protocols for single-pot assays and implemented an automated device for multi-sample detection. We validated SCOPE’s ability to detect early-stage lung cancer in animal models, monitored tumor mutational burden in patients with colorectal cancer and stratified patients with glioblastoma.

We demonstrate PerturbView in induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons, primary immune cells and tumor tissue sections from animal models. In a screen of immune signaling pathways in primary bone marrow-derived macrophages, PerturbView uncovered both known and novel regulators of NF-κB signaling. Furthermore, we combine PerturbView with spatial transcriptomics in tissue sections from a mouse xenograft model, paving the way to in situ screens with rich optical and transcriptomic phenotypes.
