Ai Can Predict Activity Of Rna-targeting Crispr Tools

This study by researchers at New York University, Columbia Engineering, and the New York Genome Center combines a deep learning model with CRISPR screens to control the expression of human genes in different ways. The study uses a platform for RNA-targeting CRISPR screens using Cas13 to better understand RNA regulation and to identify the function of non-coding RNAs. The study also holds promise for developing new methods to prevent or treat viral infections.
