News from Dr. Alex Marson's lab UCSF & Gladstone Institutes, focusing on advances in immunology, CRISPR & genomics.
Good news keeps coming! Excited to share our latest preprint expanding myeloid cell editing capabilities: Virus-like particles enable targeted gene engineering and pooled CRISPR screening in primary human myeloid cells, led by Hyuncheol Jung and Pascal Devant joint with @juliacarnevale.bsky.social

GWAS has been an incredible discovery tool for human genetics: it regularly identifies *causal* links from 1000s of SNPs to any given trait. But mechanistic interpretation is usually difficult.

Our latest work on causal models for this is out yesterday:

A short🧵:
Causal modelling of gene effects from regulators to programs to traits - Nature
Approaches combining genetic association and Perturb-seq data that link genetic variants to functional programs to traits are described.
