Edit-R Lentiviral sgRNAs arrayed glycerol stock libraries

Arrayed collections of lentiviral sgRNA libraries for high-throughput knockout screening!

Edit-R Lentiviral sgRNA libraries enable high-throughput analysis of hundreds of genes with multiple target sites per gene across the Human Druggable Genome; targeting approximately 8000 human protein coding genes. In contrast to pooled screening, arrayed libraries enable single-well analysis with a wide range of phenotypic assays; including high-content assays and alternative morphological or reporter-base assays.

Delivered as E. coli glycerol stocks, these libraries provide a valuable renewable resource that can enable screens in many cell lines. Whether the desire is to screen a small gene family (e.g. Proteases) or the entire Druggable Genome, lentiviral sgRNA libraries support your scientific goals. The Edit-R Lentiviral sgRNAs express a chimeric structure comprised of a crRNA and tracrRNA fused through a short linker for the programming of Cas9 nuclease and creation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In the Edit-R lentiviral sgRNA vector backbone, the gene-specific sgRNA is expressed under the control of a human U6 promoter, while expression of the puromycin resistance marker (PuroR) is driven from the mouse CMV promoter and allows for rapid selection of cells with integrated sgRNA.
