Show abstract
Human genes are regulated quantitatively, yet the ability to specify the expression level of a native gene accurately and specifically using a defined reagent has remained elusive. Here we show that precise targeting of KRAB repressive domain within regulatory DNA unlocks an endogenous quantitative dial that can be engaged at nucleotide resolution to program expression levels across a wide physiologic range, with single-gene specificity and high reproducibly in primary cells.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
