Using activity to improve mutation scanning with base editors

Updated

Abstract

Essence

Activity-based co-selection made base editor mutational screens cleaner by enriching cells with high editing activity.

Evidence

A base-editing platform experiment developed the co-selection method and compared it with a traditional screen using tiled guide RNAs across TP53.

Caveat

The abstract demonstrates one target-locus benchmark and anticipates broader use, so general performance across other loci and applications remains untested here.
