A high-throughput CRISPR interference screen for dissecting functional regulators of GPCR/cAMP signaling.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) allow cells to respond to chemical and sensory stimuli through generation of second messengers, such as cyclic AMP (cAMP), which in turn mediate a myriad of processes, including cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. In order to gain deeper insights in...
