Pooled CRISPRi-mediated silencing of >1,000 transcriptional regulators expressed in single colorectal adenocarcinoma cells, followed by single-cell RNA-seq profiling at two time points, 1D and 4D, allowed reverse engineering the underlying tumor context-specific, causal regulatory network. Furthermore, the availability of experimentally derived, highly multiplexed gene reporter assays for each regulator, as identified by this analysis, allowed accurate assessment of differential protein activity following silencing of each regulator, thus providing proof-of-concept for generating comprehensive, tissue-specific networks of transcriptional and post-translational interactions. Analysis of this causal network allowed elucidation of complex autoregulatory mechanisms that have eluded previous computational approaches and supported systematic elucidation of cooperative mechanisms, where one regulatory protein can modulate the activity of another regulatory protein, as well as transcriptional mimicry, where one regulatory protein can phenocopy others.

The phenomenon of bioluminescence has fascinated layman and scientist alike for many centuries. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries a number of observations were reported on the physiology of bioluminescence in Renilla, the common sea pansy. More recently biochemists have directed their attention to the molecular basis of luminosity in this colonial form. These studies have centered primarily on defining the chemical basis for bioluminescence and its control. It is now established that bioluminescence in Renilla arises due to the luciferase-catalyzed oxidation of luciferin. This results in the creation of a product (oxyluciferin) in an electronic excited state. The transition of oxyluciferin from its excited state to the ground state leads to light emission.

Core edge spectroscopy methods are versatile tools for investigating a wide variety of materials. They can be used to probe the electronic states of materials in bulk solids, on surfaces, or in the gas phase. This family of methods involves promoting an inner shell (core) electron to an excited state and recording either the primary excitation or secondary decay of the excited state. The techniques are complimentary and have different strengths and limitations for studying challenging aspects of materials. The need to identify components in polymers or polymer blends at high spatial resolution has driven development, application, and integration of results from several of these methods.
