I’m delighted to share the work led by Yunbing Shen, with help from especially Long Jiang and Vaishnavi Iyer.

CRISPR never generates a uniform genotype which complicates analyzing the targeted gene’s role without establishing clonal lines. Here we give examples of how the generated genetic heterogeneity can be leveraged for discovery –> RCC!
