  • Patent number: 11912986
    Abstract: Understanding the complex effects of genetic perturbations on cellular state and fitness in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has been challenging using traditional pooled screening techniques which typically rely on unidimensional phenotypic readouts. Here, Applicants use barcoded open reading frame (ORF) overexpression libraries with a coupled single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and fitness screening approach, a technique we call SEUSS (ScalablE fUnctional Screening by Sequencing), to establish a comprehensive assaying platform. Using this system, Applicants perturbed hPSCs with a library of developmentally critical transcription factors (TFs), and assayed the impact of TF overexpression on fitness and transcriptomic cell state across multiple media conditions. Applicants further leveraged the versatility of the ORF library approach to systematically assay mutant gene libraries and also whole gene families.
