Development is coordinated by interactions between cell types, but these effects are often missed in cultured cell studies.

We developed an approach to identify these “cell-extrinsic effects” and discovered that they were pervasive in our dataset, actually outnumbering cell-intrinsic effects!

In one experiment, we mutated 50 transcription factors and measured the consequences to 74 cell types across ~1000 embryos.

We found a lot of cool things, including many new phenotypes that we could confirm with other methods.
