Super excited to get this out. This collab started a few years ago and is the first paper from it. Here, with experimental and computational approaches we:

1. establish that cell villages can be just as accurate (one might argue more accurate!) than arrayed-based designs

Check out our new preprint on Lilace, a statistical tool for scoring FACS-based deep mutational scanning experiments! Lilace directly models the shift between variant fluorescence distributions and provides score uncertainty estimates to better assess reliability and reproducibility. (1/3)
Accurate variant effect estimation in FACS-based deep mutational scanning data with Lilace
Deep mutational scanning (DMS) experiments interrogate the effect of genetic variants on protein function, often using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to quantitatively measure molecular ph...
