Identification and genetic dissection of convergent persister cell states
We generated a high-resolution single-cell RNA atlas of E. coli growth transitions, which revealed that a distinct persister state. We then used ultra-dense CRISPR-interference to determine how every E. coli gene contributes to persister formation across genetic models. ***Download data version 2 whenever present*** Overall design: scRNA-seq of E. coli cells using PETRI-seq method; CRISPRi screen of E. coli cells
