BE_screens_of_WRN_gene_in_MSI_models

We will take advantage of a base-editing screening strategy to engineer mutations in the WRN gene by deep mutagenesis. Two MSI-H cell lines sensitive to WRNi will be genetically modified to express doxycycline-inducible ABE and CBE base editors through a knock-in strategy. Moreover, we will design a pooled library of ~4000 gRNAs targeting the WRN gene plus appropriate controls gRNAs. Library-transduced cells will be selected with WRNi to identify WRN mutations able to interfere with the activity of WRNi.
