Project description:Docetaxel chemotherapy in metastatic prostate cancer offers only a modest survival benefit due to emerging resistance. This experiment studies effect of TCEAL1 gene knock down with/without docetaxel treatment. The TCEAL1 gene was identified as the top candidate gene in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 screen.
Project description:Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen using TKOv1 sgRNA library performed in isogenic RBM10-proficient and RBM10-deficient HCC827 cells.

Project description:This study aims to identify new genes and pathways associated with erlotinib sensitivity in order to develop novel therapeutic strategies. Here, we induced artificial knock-out (KO) mutations in erlotinib-resistant human lung cancer cells (NCI-H820) using a genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 sgRNA library to screen for genes involved in erlotinib susceptibility.
Project description:To search for factors regulating paternally imprinted genes (PEGs), we performed a genome-wide loss-of-function CRISPR/Cas9 screen in haploid parthenogenetic ESCs. This by staining a pooled CRISPR library with a PEG10 antibody and next FACS-sorted for cells that presented de-novo PEG10 expression.
Project description:Pollen tube growth is essential for successful fertilization and stable crop yields. We constructed loss-of-function/knock-out mutants that simultaneously target two rice genes using the CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis system. The selected OsRALF17 and OsRALF19 genes are strongly expressed in rice bicellular/tricellular pollen and have essential functions in the pollen tube growth. For the corresponding transcriptomic analysis, we sampled mature pollen anthers from a control group and an OsRALF17/19 knock-out mutant.
Project description:To address the mechanism of action of EFA6B we have knocked-out its gene PSD4 using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The MCF10A human mammary cell line was used for the knock-out as it is a well-characterized normal human mammary cell line and thus enabled us to study the effect of deleting PSD4 in a non-transformed genetic background.
