Abstract
Modulating R-loop triplex nucleic acid structures reveals their roles across the genome. However, common approaches cannot ascribe functions to R-loops in a locus-associated manner. This protocol presents the use of a locus-associated R-loop-modulating system (dubbed LasR), which employs an inducible RNaseH1-EGFP-dCas9 chimaera. We detail the in silico design of sgRNAs and their transfection with the chimaera, and outline steps confirming RNaseH1-EGFP-dCas9 expression, localization, locus-targeted association, and R-loop modulation in cis or trans using immunoblotting, microscopy, and chromatin and DNA-RNA immunoprecipitation. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Abraham et al. (2020).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
