New publication on morphological map of under- and overexpression of genes in human cells

Sep 2, 2025 | Publications, Unclassified

As a member of the JUMP Cell Painting Consortium, Ksilink contributed to the perturbation of roughly 75% of the protein-coding genome in human U-2 OS cells, generating a rich resource of single-cell images and extracted features. These profiles capture the phenotypic impacts of perturbing 15,243 human genes, including overexpressing 12,609  and knocking out 7,975 genes. Analysis of phenotypic profiles revealed previously undiscovered gene clusters and functional relationships, including those associated with mitochondrial function, cancer and neural processes.
