Project description:Here, we performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of 1 (one) human fetal lung tissue specimen (18.9 week) and 2 (two) human fetal intestine specimens (12.1 and 18.9 week) (total of 3 (three) independent biological specimens). The data set is composed of approximately 5,000 lung cells and 7,500 intestine cells. Lineages captured across both tissues include but are not limited to epithelium, stroma, immune, neurons and endothelium.

Project description:Recent technological developments in single-cell RNA-seq CRISPR screens enable high-throughput investigation of the genome. Through transduction of a gRNA library to a cell population followed by transcriptomic profiling by scRNA-seq, it is possible to characterize the effects of thousands of genomic perturbations on global gene expression. A major source of noise in scRNA-seq CRISPR screens are ambient gRNAs, which are contaminating gRNAs that likely originate from other cells. If not properly filtered, ambient gRNAs can result in an excess of false positive gRNA assignments. Here, we utilize CRISPR barnyard assays to characterize ambient gRNA noise in single-cell CRISPR screens. We use these datasets to develop and train CLEANSER, a mixture model that identifies and filters ambient gRNA noise. This model takes advantage of the bimodal distribution between native and ambient gRNAs and includes both gRNA and cell-specific normalization parameters, correcting for confounding technical factors that affect individual gRNAs and cells. The output of CLEANSER is the probability that a gRNA-cell assignment is in the native distribution over the ambient distribution. We find that ambient gRNA filtering methods impact differential gene expression analysis outcomes and that CLEANSER outperforms alternate approaches by increasing gRNA-cell assignment accuracy.

Project description:Background: The CRISPR/Cas9 toolbox has recently been expanded to include approaches for modulating gene expression. To successfully build on this work, and apply it for answering biological questions, it is important to establish it in a broad range of circumstances. Genome-scale CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) has been used in human cells lines, however the rules for designing effective guide RNAs (gRNAs) in different organisms are not well known. We sought to determine rules that determine gRNA effectiveness at transcriptional repression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Results: We created an inducible single plasmid CRISPRi system for gene repression in yeast, and used it to analyze fitness effects of gRNAs under 18 small molecule treatments. Our approach correctly identified previously-described chemical-genetic interactions, as well as a new mechanism of suppressing fluconazole toxicity by repression of the ERG25 gene. Assessment of multiple target loci across treatments allowed us to determine generalizable features associated with gRNA efficacy. Guides that target regions with low nucleosome occupancy and high chromatin accessibility were clearly more effective. We also found the best region to target gRNAs was between the transcription start site (TSS) and 200bp upstream of the TSS. Finally, unlike nuclease-proficient Cas9 in human cells, point mutations were tolerated equally well by truncated (18 nt specificity sequence) and full length (20 nt) gRNAs, however, 18 nt gRNAs were generally less potent than full length gRNAs. Conclusions: Our results establish a powerful functional genomics screening method, provide rules for designing effective gRNAs for gene repression, and show that 18 nt and 20 nt gRNAs exhibit similar tolerance to mismatches in the target sequence. These findings will enable effective library design and genome-wide screening in many genetic backgrounds. An expression construct was created for inducible CRISPRi in yeast. Key features include ORFs expressing dCas9-Mxi1 and the tetracycline repressor (TetR), as well as a tetracycline inducible gRNA locus containing the RPR1 promoter with a TetO site, a NotI site for cloning new gRNA specificity sequences, and the constant part of the gRNA. When yeast containing this plasmid are grown in the absence of anhydrotetracycline (ATc) TetR binds the gRNA promoter and prevents PolIII from binding and transcribing the gRNA. This in turn prevents dCas9-Mxi1 from binding the target site. In the presence of ATc, TetR dissociates and gRNA is expressed, allowing dCas9-Mxi1 to bind its target locus, and repress gene expression. gRNA libraries were cloned into this construct and transformed into yeast to create pools. Experiments were conducted in which yeast pools were grown in inducing (+ATc) and non-inducing conditions (-ATc) in the presence of different drugs. After multiple generations of growth in these conditions, yeast plasmids were minipreped and the gRNA locus was PCRed and sequenced via MiSeq. Counts of each gRNA were compared in different conditions.

Project description:We introduce poly-adenine CRISPR gRNA-based single cell RNA-sequencing (pAC-Seq), a method enabling simultaneous observation of mutagenic guide RNAs (gRNAs) and their transcriptional consequences in single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. We have made gRNAs robustly visible in scRNA-seq data while maintaining full activity by modifying them with a hardcoded poly-adenine tract. We apply pAC-Seq to study the transcriptomic effects of non-coding CRISPR/Cas9-induced mutations in a pooled screening format. pAC-Seq is a simple, robust, and broadly applicable method of measuring the global effects of genomic mutation.

Project description:We performed an experimental Cas13d-SARScov2 genome-wide screen to identify gRNAs that would allow Cas13d to degrade the viral RNA. We built mCherry reporter plasmids that express mCherry with a 3kb 3'UTR deriving from the SARScov2 genome. In total we designed 11 reporters covering the entire plus strand of the viral genome and 11 other reporters covering the entire minus strand. Each of the 22 mCherry reporter plasmids carries a U6 expression cassette containing a Cas13d gRNA that targets the 3'UTR of the mCherry reporter. Each reporter is represented by a pool of reporters each containing a different gRNA that targets mCherry 3'UTR for a total average of ~300 gRNA per 3'UTR. The entire pool of 22 reporters, each with a pool of ~300 different gRNAs constitutes a comprehensive set ~6,500 reporters (~ 6,500 different gRNAs) that allowed us to interrogate the entire SARScov2 plus and minus strand viral RNA for regions of vulnerability and targetability. In order to specifically interrogate Cas13d activity an remove the biases that would be introduced in the reporter expression by the presence of a large 3kb 3'UTR we used a case (presence of Cas13d) control (absence of Cas13d) design. Briefly, the ~6,500 reporters were lentiviral transduced in RKO cells, the cells were split in 2 populations, 1 population was transduced with Cas13d and the other serving as control did not. The population expressing Cas13d was FACS sorted in low mCherry (efficient gRNAs) and high mCherry (un-efficient gRNAs) in 2 biological replicates and the genomic DNA of these populations was extracted, gRNAs were PCR amplified and sequenced. For the population that did not express Cas13d, a low mCherry, one high mCherry and unsorted population were sequenced as control libraries.

Project description:Organoids were generated from cells infected with pooled lentivirus library. The lentiviral libraries deliver dual-gRNAs targeting 36 high-risk ASD genes in parallel. With or without 4-OHT induction of eCas9 expression, organoids were dissociated at specific developmental stages. Single cells were sorted and bulk genomic DNA was extracted. Target amplification was performed using genomic DNA to analyze gRNA and unique clone barcode representation.

Project description:We combined CRISPR genome editing with single-cell RNA sequencing to assess complex phenotypes in pooled cellular screens. Our method for CRISPR droplet sequencing (CROP-seq) comprises four key components: a gRNA vector that makes individual gRNAs detectable in single-cell transcriptomes, a high-throughput assay for single-cell RNA-seq, a computational pipeline for assigning single-cell transcriptomes to gRNAs, and a bioinformatic method for analyzing and interpreting gRNA-induced transcriptional profiles. CROP-seq allowed us to link gRNA expression to the associated transcriptome responses in thousands of single cells using a straightforward and broadly applicable screening workflow.
