Earlier this year, 3 separate studies (Adamson, et al., Datlinger, et al., and Dixit, et al.) demonstrated an approach to combine pooled CRISPR genetic screening with RNA expression profiling at the single-cell level. Integrating these two approaches enables knockout-specific expression data to be generated for...

Last year, Cellecta received a Phase 1 NIH SBIR grant to develop validated single guide RNA (sgRNA). The initial study was designed to investigate an approach to optimize CRISPR sgRNA to improve the efficiency of CRISPR knockout.The 5'-end of the CRISPR sgRNA contains 20 nucleotides specific to the gene targeted...

Cellecta received a Phase I NIH SBIR Grant to develop CRISPR guide RNAs (gRNAs or sgRNAs) for human and mouse genes and then use these to build a knockout library targeting 6,500 key disease-related genes in major signal transduction pathways.Targeting a gene for knockout using CRISPR requires a short strand of...
