A unified model of human hemoglobin switching through single-cell genome editing

Genetic mechanisms underlying fetal hemoglobin (HbF) regulation and switching are not fully understood. Here, the authors develop a single-cell genome editing functional assay to model how effects of mutation-harbouring functional elements contribute to HbF expression.
