Application note: Effectiveness of CRISPR‑Cas9 using pools of synthetic crRNAs in high-content analysis screening experiments
Posted: 31 March 2021 | Horizon Discovery | No comments yet
In this application note, discover how pools of synthetic crRNAs can produce a phenotype as strong as, or stronger, than any one of the component crRNAs in arrayed CRISPR screening experiments.
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.
