Cardiac pacemaker cells (PCs) in the sinoatrial node (SAN) have a distinct gene expression program that allows them to fire automatically and initiate heartbeat. Although critical SAN transcription factors, including Isl1 (Islet-1), Tbx3 (T-box factor 3), Shox2 (short-stature homeobox protein 2), been identified, cis-regulatory architecture governs PC-specific is not understood, discrete enhancers required for regulation identified.To define epigenetic profile of PCs using comparative...
The safety of CRISPR-based gene editing methods is the utmost priority in clinical applications. Previous studies have reported that Cas9 cleavage induced frequent aneuploidy primary human T cells, but whether cleavage-mediated base editors would generate off-target structure variations remains unknown. Here, we investigate potential structural associated with CRISPR/Cas9, ABE, and CBE mouse embryos cells by whole-genome sequencing single-cell RNA-seq analyses.
