Summary (written by the submitters)
Advancing CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing demands a thorough understanding of its associated risks.Yet, most of risk assessments have focused on the mutagenic effects stemming from off-target cleavage in gene-coding regions, largely neglecting the implications of cleavage within the extensive non-coding genome.
Read the full summary ↓
We observed that CRISPR/Cas9-induced DNA cleavage, even at sites several kilobases away from the nearest regulatory elements, can trigger premature differentiation of somatic neural stem cell in vivo.Leveraging a refined multi-omics technology, we delved into the consequences of CRISPR/Cas9-induced DNA cleavage in these non-coding regions. Our findings reveal an impact, especially pronounced in cells with high stemness, where cleavage-induced disruptions can span long ranges, potentially culminating in the loss of stemness. These effects are tied to extensive chromatin perturbations. Building on this understanding, we used chromatin perturbation as a key marker to refine gene editing technologies that could minimize such disruptions.This key finding illuminates the path towards the development of safer and more broadly applicable genome editing technologies.

This dataset
Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE243065_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1016317 and SRA study SRP678684. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 399 samples.

How we read this: 135 replicated groups read from the first 400 of 783 sample titles; they account for 399 of them. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
