⚠️ Paper alert: Using a novel CRISPR screening approach, we mapped the entire regulatory network controlling Xist—key for X-chromosome inactivation.

Reporter CRISPR screens decipher cis-regulatory and trans-regulatory principles at the Xist locus - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology

Here Schwämmle et al. develop CRISPR reporter screens to map transcription-factor-regulatory element interactions at the Xist locus, revealing a two-step mechanism integrating developmental and X-dosage signals to initiate X-chromosome inactivation.

Thank you! I really appreciate it! We use cumate because the cells already grow under doxycycline to sustain the expression of NANOG and KLF2, two TFs that keep them pluripotent. Otherwise, we would have used doxycycline, in my experience, a much better inducible system than cumate.
