CRISPR/Cas9-Based Gene Dropout Screens
PRODUCTS USED
ABSTRACT
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9-based technology enables efficient and precise perturbations of target genomic sites. Combining the endonuclease Cas9 and a pooled guide RNA library allows for systematic screenings of genes associated with a growth disadvantage or lethal phenotype under various conditions in organisms and tissues. Here, we describe a complete protocol for scalable CRISPR/Cas9-based dropout screening for essential genes from focused genomic regions to whole genomes.
