Arrayed screening
Using synthetic CRISPR and siRNA reagents on a one-gene per well basis with complex assay readouts.
Functional genomic screens enable modulation of hundreds or thousands of genes in a single experiment to identify genetic pathways, cellular processes, novel therapeutic targets, and to genetically profile existing or potential therapeutics. This information can be used to support a range of applications from cellular development, elucidate mechanisms of action, and through to patient stratification or exploration of potential new treatment paradigms
With integrated solutions for CRISPR knockout, CRISPR activation, CRISPR inhibition, and RNAi technologies our screening portfolio provides you a complete functional genomic screening platform. Using either cell lines or primary cell cultures, Horizon’s screening platform can perform pooled, arrayed and even single cell screens with our flexible library technologies and formats. Libraries can be used either alone, or in tandem, and coupled with a variety of assay readouts.

CRISPRa screening
CRISPR activation offers transient gain-of-function screening using endogenous expression mechanisms.
CRISPRi screening
CRISPR interference screening offers transient loss-of-function screening with the accuracy of the CRISPR guide system.
Dual CRISPRi/a screening
Exploit the power of paired loss-of-function and gain-of-function screening.
Use of parallel CRISPRi and CRISPRa gene modulation to identify drug interactions with paired gene perturbation analysis.
App note: Whole-genome CRISPRa screening
In this application note, we present a human whole-genome CRISPRa platform and demonstrate its effectiveness in identifying resistance genes complementary to those identified through loss-of-function screening. The ability to enhance transcription by several orders of magnitude offers researchers the opportunity to explore resistance mechanisms based on a CRISPRa-driven gain-of-function platform.
Single-cell CRISPR screening
Identify the genetic interactions that underlie a treatment response with pooled CRISPR screening followed by single cell analysis.
