Highlights Protocol for CRISPRa screens with single- cell readout to interrogate gene function Detailed description of CRISPRa screening procedures in mouse embryonic stem cells Detailed steps on how to construct derived single-cell sgRNA amplicon libraries CRISPR/Cas9 screens are a powerful approach to identify key regulators of biological processes. By combining pooled CRISPR/Cas9 screening with a single-cell RNA-sequencing readout, individual perturbations can be assessed in parallel both comprehensively and at scale. Importantly, this allows gene function and regulation to be interrogated at a cellular level in an unbiased manner. Here, we present a protocol to perform pooled CRISPR-activation screens in mouse embryonic stem cells using 103 Genomics scRNA-seq as a readout.

    obituary Michael John Owen Wakelam 1955–2020 We have lost a distinguished biochemist who dedicated his career to the study of phosphatidylinositol signalling in metabolic regulation and to the advancement of lipidomics. ichael John Owen Wakelam passed away on 31 March, 2020 at the Mage of 64, much too early. He became known to colleagues and friends as a scientist highly regarded for his research. He was honoured in 2018 with the Morton Lectureship of the Biochemical Society and was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Biology. In 2019, he was elected a member of the Academia Europaea. Academic career It was not by chance that Michael turned his focus to phosphatidylinositols (PIs) and lipid signalling. He was a student and later a professor at the University of Birmingham at a time when Britain was the world’s hub of pioneering phospholipid research, such as that by J. N. Hawthorne and Bob Michell on PI in Birmingham. Bob Michell inspired Michael extraordinarily, and they even published a joint review. Subsequently, Michael moved to Cambridge to serve as the director of the Babraham Institute, where Credit: Babraham Institute Rex Dawson and Robin Irvine studied phospholipids, particularly PI metabolism and signalling.

    2017 Babraham Institute Annual Research Report The world’s ageing population is a Global Grand Challenge facing us all and affecting governments, Life sciences healthcare and research worldwide. In the UK, nearly 1 in 5 people are now over 65 and this is expected to rise to 1 in 4 by 2050. We’re living much longer than ever before, but we’re not living healthier. Our bodies still decline into old age at around the same point that they always have, a concept called healthspan. If our research for society is to keep functioning, we must find ways to extend our healthspan soon. The Babraham Institute unites wide-ranging expertise in fundamental biology to address these challenges. lifelong health We aim to gain a detailed understanding of ageing and lifelong health by studying epigenetic changes to gene regulation, investigating how cells respond to diet and their environment and examining the role of the immune system in health throughout our lives. 2 3 Contents 1 2 3 4 5 Immunology Signalling Epigenetics Nuclear Dynamics Facilities Director’s welcome 6-7 The persistence and activation PI3K enzyme signalling within cells 22 Epigenetic reprogramming in Structure and function of Bioinformatics 54 of lymphocytes 12 development and ageing 34 the genome 44 Performance in 2017 8-9 Signals controlling cell Biological Chemistry 55 Maintaining a healthy fate decisions 23 Stress, metabolism and effects on Making enough different antibodies Impact: immune system 13 healthy ageing 35 to fight infection 45 Biological Support Unit 56 Engaging with our
