Knockout Screening with Sanger Arrayed Genome-Wide CRISPR Libraries

WEBINAR

Here we present the first genome wide, arrayed guide RNA screening libraries for CRISPR-Cas9. These libraries have been designed to cover 17166 human and 20430 mouse genes. To test the efficiency, we selected gRNAs targeting genes from the GPI anchor protein pathway. We observed that over 95% of these gRNAs successfully induced DNA cleavage and consequently gene loss of function. These libraries offer the prospect for performing high-throughput screens for genes of considerable scientific and therapeutic value in mouse and human cells.
