Application note: Effectiveness of CRISPR‑Cas9 using pools of synthetic crRNAs in high-content analysis screening experiments
Posted: 21 June 2021 | Horizon Discovery | No comments yet
Chemical synthesis of guide RNAs for CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing enables accurate and rapid production of CRISPR libraries and screening in an arrayed, one-gene-per-well fashion.
Gene knockout using the CRISPR-Cas9 system has emerged as a powerful technology for loss-of-function screening. Although screening using pooled lentiviral sgRNA libraries is a powerful way to discover gene function, arrayed screening expands the types of phenotypic readouts from simple population enrichment or depletion to complex multiparametric high-content imaging and morphological assays. Here, four pooled crRNA to the same target are shown to provide robust functional knockout in arrayed CRISPR screening experiments.
