Gene function revealed at the moment of stochastic gene silencing by Shreyan Gupta, James J. Cai

“…It then compares these cell samples to identify differentially expressed genes, referred to as SGS-responsive genes, which are used to infer the function of the target gene g. Analysis of real data demonstrates that scSGS can reveal regulatory relationships up- and downstream of target genes, circumventing the survivorship bias that often affects gene knockout and perturbation studies. scSGS thus offers an efficient approach for gene function prediction, with significant potential to reduce the use of genetically modified animals in gene function research.…”
