Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) shape cellular phenotypes and disease susceptibility in cancer. To investigate the functional consequences of SNVs, scientists use single nucleotide CRISPR base editors to make precise genetic changes.

In this Technique Talk, Francisco J. Sánchez-Rivera will discuss how to develop base editor sensor libraries for the high-throughput analysis of causative variants in preclinical cancer models.

Why Do We Feel Butterflies in the Stomach?

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs".
