Understand Twist Oligo Pools bring the development of custom sgRNA libraries of any size within reach.

Pooled CRISPR screens are now considered the gold standard approach for systematically elucidating gene function. However, the success of these screens depends on the knockout efficiency achieved by the guides used. To ensure the most efficient CRISPR screens, Dr. Ulrich Elling and his team at the Institute for Molecular Biotechnology in Vienna have developed a multilayered sgRNA score that markedly outperforms all previous prediction tools.
