bio-crispr-screens-perturb-seq-analysis

Analyzes single-cell pooled CRISPR screens (Perturb-seq, CROP-seq, Perturb-CITE-seq, ECCITE-seq, multiome) where each cell carries an sgRNA and a scRNA-seq / surface-protein / chromatin readout. Covers experimental design (direct-capture Perturb-seq Dixit 2016 vs CROP-seq 3'UTR-barcoded Datlinger 2017 vs ECCITE-seq vs Multiome), MOI for sgRNA assignment, escaper-cell filtering (Mixscape, Papalexi 2021), SCEPTRE NB GLM + permutation for low-MOI (Barry 2024 Genome Biol 25:124), the Pertpy framework, factor decomposition, genome-scale Perturb-seq (Replogle 2022 Cell, 2.5M cells), and per-perturbation single-cell DE. Use when running a single-cell CRISPR screen, choosing direct-capture vs CROP-seq architecture, filtering escaper cells, performing single-cell DE, integrating Perturb-seq with pathway analysis, scaling to GW CRISPRi via Replogle protocol, or analyzing multi-omics screens.
