Machine learning-based approaches for identifying human blood cells harboring CRISPR-mediated fetal chromatin domain ablations

Abstract Two common hemoglobinopathies, sickle cell disease (SCD) and β-thalassemia, arise from genetic mutations within the β-globin gene. In this work, we identified a 500-bp motif (Fetal Chromatin Domain, FCD) upstream of human ϒ-globin locus and showed that the removal of this motif using CRISPR...
