A critical goal in functional genomics is evaluating which non-coding elements contribute to gene expression, cellular function, and disease. Here the authors present a CRISPRi-based method using truncated guides disrupts transcription factor binding and enhancer activity across thousands of sites, expanding CRISPRi targeting scope for functional genomics and enabling efficient screening of repeated genomic elements
