Arrayed CRISPR-interference screening platform

Arrayed CRISPR-interference screening platform 

Platform to perform perturbation of individual genes in an arrayed setup using CRISPR-interference technology. Different model cell lines that were stably transduced with the CRISPR-interference machinery. High-throughput shallow RNA-sequencing readout to establish the molecular phenotype for each perturbation. 

What will you obtain:

Knock-down for dozens (up to 100) genes in a single experiment with matching gene expression data for each knock-down condition. Additional readouts are possible (including cell proliferation, apoptosis, …). 

Why should someone choose this asset: 

Therapeutic or disease target identification, molecular characterization of genes with unknown function (eg. long non-coding RNAs), characterization of gene function in various cell states. 

Unique selling points: 

  1. Several validated CRISPR-interference model cell lines 
  2. Comprehensive readout through RNA-seq for molecular phenotyping 

Can the asset be used on a broader setting (beyond HIV)?

Yes, any disease for which model cell lines are available. Additional model cell lines can be generated on demand
