We present FRACTEL, a statistical framework for region-level analysis of CRISPR perturbation screens. FRACTEL aggregates gRNA p-values using a bounded minimum across order statistics, preserving scale and enabling adaptive sensitivity to sparse or diffuse effects. Region-level null distributions are estimated via simulation, ensuring precise type I error control. Simulations and real CRISPRi/a datasets demonstrate improved power and replication rate over gRNA-level analyses. FRACTEL also informs experimental design, revealing trade-offs between gRNA redundancy and efficacy and identifying inherent limits in single-cell repression screens of lowly expressed genes. The method integrates with existing pipelines and supports diverse CRISPR screening applications.

"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.
