CRISPR pooled libraries have allowed scientists to easily perform genome-wide screens to effectively and efficiently investigate gene function. CRISPR libraries can be used to knock out, inhibit or activate target genes by combining specific sgRNAs with Cas9 or Cas9 derivatives.
Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screens are a high-throughput systematic approach for identifying genes involved in a biological process. These screens provide an alternative to genome-wide RNAi screens, which although highly effective, are affected by low on-target efficacy, ...
CRISPR has greatly enhanced the ability of scientists to make genomic alterations, bringing about a revolution in genome engineering, with new techniques rapidly being developed. Performing a CRISPR experiment requires delivery of, at minimum, two components: the Cas9 protein ...

RNA-editing Cas13 enzymes have taken the CRISPR world by storm. Like RNA interference, these enzymes can knock down RNA without altering the genome, but Cas13s have higher on-target specificity. New work from Konermann et al. and Yan et al. describes new Cas13d enzymes that ...
CRISPR genome editing has made it easier to create knockout alleles in a variety of species, including the standard laboratory mouse. It’s also made targeted insertions relatively simple in C. elegans and bacteria. But CRISPRing typical mouse models, including creating ...
