A unified genetic perturbation language for human cellular programming.

ABSTRACT: Evolution simultaneously and combinatorially explores complex genetic changes across perturbation classes, including gene knockouts, knockdowns, overexpression, and the creation of new genes from existing domains. Separate technologies are capable of genetic perturbations at scale in human cells, but these methods are largely mutually incompatible. Here we present CRISPR-All, a unified genetic perturbation language for programming of any major type of genetic perturbation simultaneously, in any combination, at genome scale, in primary human cells. This is enabled by a standardized molecular architecture for each major perturbation class, development of a functional syntax for combining arbitrary numbers of elements across classes, and linkage to unique single cell compatible barcodes.
