Abstract

Image-based, high-throughput screening of genetic perturbations will advance both biology and biotechnology. We report a high-throughput screening method that allows diverse genotypes and corresponding phenotypes to be imaged in numerous individual cells. We achieve genotyping by introducing barcoded genetic variants into cells and using massively multiplexed FISH to measure the barcodes. We demonstrated this method by screening mutants of the fluorescent protein YFAST, yielding brighter and more photostable YFAST variants.
