Abstract
Primary cell cultures need to be frequently passaged, which limits the study of long-term biological processes, such as how mutant clones colonize aging epithelia. Esophageal epithelioids self-maintain for months, recapitulating progenitor cell behavior in vivo. Epithelioid CRISPR–Cas9 screens reveal genes encoding molecules that control cell fitness.
期刊介绍:
Nature Genetics publishes the very highest quality research in genetics. It encompasses genetic and functional genomic studies on human and plant traits and on other model organisms. Current emphasis is on the genetic basis for common and complex diseases and on the functional mechanism, architecture and evolution of gene networks, studied by experimental perturbation.
Integrative genetic topics comprise, but are not limited to:
-Genes in the pathology of human disease
-Molecular analysis of simple and complex genetic traits
-Cancer genetics
-Agricultural genomics
-Developmental genetics
-Regulatory variation in gene expression
-Strategies and technologies for extracting function from genomic data
-Pharmacological genomics
-Genome evolution
