Abstract

CRISPR tiling screens have advanced the identification and characterization of regulatory sequences but are limited by low resolution arising from the indirect readout of editing via guide RNA sequencing. This study introduces , an end-to-end experimental assay and computational pipeline, which leverages targeted sequencing of CRISPR-introduced alleles at the endogenous target locus following dense base-editing mutagenesis. This approach enables the dissection of regulatory elements at nucleotide resolution, facilitating a direct assessment of genotype-phenotype effects.
