Combining CRISPR-based gene perturbation with immunofluorescence and single-molecule RNA fluorescence in situ hybridisation allows precise quantification of the relationship between protein abundance and target gene expression at the single-cell level, over large cell populations.

«The biggest challenge of our era is to connect the biological scales. To delineate the rules by which interactions at a lower scale give rise to new properties in form and function at a higher scale, and how that feeds back on each other.» Lucas Pelkmans
