A new paper has solved the 20-year mystery of how epigenetic modifications act as traffic lights to control gene expression and could ultimately speed up the development of a new class of epigenetic cancer drugs. Epigenetics is still largely unexplored and referred to as the ‘dark matter’ of the genome.

SB: Transcriptomics is the study of genomic RNA transcripts in a biological system. RNA transcript expression levels can provide insight into underlying biology – eg. which genes are upregulated, and which ones are downregulated – which is very useful when studying different disease states. SB: Certainly.

Pooled CRISPR screens offer the ability to knock out or perturb many genes in a single experiment from several hundred to tens of thousands of targets in parallel. Genome-wide screens are becoming the standard for drug discovery to power unbiased identification of drug targets across gene regulatory networks.

The tool could also prove to be safer than conventional CRISPR-based gene therapies as it does not involve DNA editing, and thus would not cause potentially harmful off-target genomic changes.
