Perturb-seq Explorer

Knock down a gene with CRISPRi. Which other genes respond?

Rank genes by

Pick a perturbation above to see its top affected genes.

Surprise (z-score): how unusual the change is compared with the gene’s natural cell-to-cell variation in control cells.

Fold change (log2 after ÷ before): how much the level moved relative to where it started. Near-silent genes switching on score highest.

Absolute change (after − before, per cell): how much the level moved in absolute terms. Abundant genes, such as ribosomal proteins, score highest.

Fold and absolute changes are approximated from the published per-gene means.

Solid bars are significant at FDR 5% against a null built from the non-targeting control cells (scaled by cell number); faded bars are not. Hover a bar for before → after. How these numbers are calculated.
