  • CRISPR-based functional genomics is used to study therapeutic dependencies in primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples.
  • The study developed an optimized CRISPR platform for functional genomics in patient-derived xenograft and primary AML samples.
  • CRISPR-Cas9 knockout and CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) dropout screens identified essential cis-regulatory elements for leukemic growth.
  • Pooled CRISPR perturbations combined with single-cell RNA sequencing (Perturb-seq) revealed changes in regulatory networks and cellular hierarchies in primary AML samples.
  • The research provides a framework for using CRISPR-based functional genomics to study cancer dependencies and cellular heterogeneity in primary AML samples.
