General description

The mouse CRISPR activation library (Caprano) activates over 22,000 mouse genes and is used for genome-wide activation screening. The library is designed to be compact and efficient to maximize screening efficiency and performance, as published by Sanson, K.R., et al. Nat Commun 9, 5416 (2018).

Custom pools for follow-up screening or 10x Genomics Compatible CRISPR pools are also available by contacting your local sales representative.

Application

  • Functional Genomics/Target Validation
  • Focused forward genetic activation screening
  • Validated positive and negative controls

Features and Benefits

PCRISPR002A - Mouse CRISPR Activation Caprano Library Set A
PCRISPR002B - Mouse CRISPR Activation Caprano Library Set B

Principle

The most effective CRISPRa system uses the CRISPR Synergistic Activation Mediator (SAM) complex. This platform combines VP64-dCas9 with a modified guide. In addition, the gRNA contains two aptamers that recruit additional co-activators, p65 and HSF1, enhancing target gene activation.

CRISPRa can also serve as a complementary approach to loss-of-function (LOF) genetic screens by enriching for a different set of genes responsible for a phenotype CRISPRa screens show little-to-no off-target activity and can be used to study genes that are difficult to characterize using only LOF approaches because of their high copy number.
