    Abstract In less than a decade, CRISPR screening has revolutionized forward genetics and cell and molecular biology. Advances in screening technologies, including sgRNA libraries, Cas9‐expressing cell lines, and streamlined sequencing pipelines, have democratized pooled CRISPR screens at genome‐wide scale. Initially, many such screens were survival‐based, identifying essential genes in physiological or perturbed processes. With the application of new chemical biology tools to CRISPR screening, the phenotypic space is no longer limited to live/dead selection or screening for levels of conventional fluorescent protein reporters. Further, the resolution has been increased from cell populations to single cells or even the subcellular level. We highlight advances in pooled CRISPR screening, powered by chemical biology, that have expanded phenotypic space, resolution, scope, and scalability as well as strengthened the CRISPR/Cas enzyme toolkit to enable biological hypothesis generation and discovery.

    Abstract Moiré patterns at van der Waals interfaces between twisted 2D crystals give rise to distinct optoelectronic excitations, as well as, narrowly dispersive bands responsible for correlated electron phenomena. Contrasting with the conventional, mechanically stacked planar twist moirés, recent work shows twisted van der Waals interfaces spontaneously formed in nanowires of layered crystals, where Eshelby twist due to axial screw dislocations stabilizes a chiral structure with small interlayer rotation. Here, the realization of tunable twist in germanium(II) sulfide (GeS) van der Waals nanowires is reported. Tapered nanowires host continuously variable interlayer twist. Homojunctions between dislocated (chiral) and defect‐free (achiral) segments are obtained by triggering the emission of axial dislocations during growth. Measurements across such junctions, implemented here using local absorption and luminescence spectroscopy, provide a convenient tool for detecting twist effects. The results identify a versatile system for 3D twistronics, probing moiré physics, and for realizing moiré architectures without equivalent in planar systems.
