A project from my postdoc in the McManus lab @mcmanuslab.bsky.social at UCSF @ucsfdc.bsky.social is out today 🎉
For years, pooled CRISPR screens have operated under a central assumption: one perturbation per cell.
We challenged that assumption. 🤯

This paper shows that high MOI sgRNA multiplexing maintains CRISPRi screen performance while enabling reduced cell numbers, challenging conventional reliance on low-MOI infections.
