Project description:To identify essential gene responding to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, we performed in vivo Genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screening. We found that cohesin complex invovled in regulation of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy.
Project description:This is an in vitro genome-wide CRISPR/cas9 screen in human glioblastoma stem cells, screening for genes essential for survival of these cells. These cells express cas9 and have been transfected with a guide RNA library causing gene knockouts. We will analyse the sequencing data for depletion of guide RNAs. In this particular study, we will do RNA sequencing to correlate CRISPR with expression levels in specific cancer cell subpopulations. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Project description:Identifying putative transcription factor target genes by combining CRISPR/Cas9-based transcriptional activation with RNAseq in Drosophila S2R+ cells. This study focuses on the transcription factors Twist and Snail, singly and together. RNA from Drosophila cells following CRISPR/Cas9-based activation of Twist, Snail, or Twist and Snail together, compared with non-targeting sgRNA. Two biological replicates for each experiment
Project description:By a robust unbiased ChIP-seq approach, we demonstrated that CRISPR/Cas9 had crRNA-specific off-target binding activities in human genome. However, most of those binding off-targets could not be efficiently cleaved both in vivo and in vitro which suggested the cleavage off-target activity of CRISPR/Cas9 in human genome is very limited. We provided a valuable tool to further investigate the molecular mechanism of CRISPR/Cas9 and to optimize its in vivo targeting sgRNA binding sites were identified with ChipSeq by using GFP antibody (there are 2 replicates for egfa-t1 sgRNA,emx1 sgRNA and control without sgRNA in Hek293T cells, one egfa-t1 sgRNA,emx1 sgRNA and control without sgRNA in HeLaS3 cells)
Project description:CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing was used to disrupt nearly all the GPCR and neuropeptide genes from C. elegans genome. Multiple genes were disrupted in each strain for the purpose of screening. The genotype is the list of targeted genes
Project description:CRISPR-Cas9 delivery by AAV holds promise for gene therapy but faces critical barriers due to its potential immunogenicity and limited payload capacity. Here, we demonstrate genome engineering in postnatal mice using AAV-split-Cas9, a multi-functional platform customizable for genome-editing, transcriptional regulation, and other previously impracticable AAV-CRISPR-Cas9 applications. We identify crucial parameters that impact efficacy and clinical translation of our platform, including viral biodistribution, editing efficiencies in various organs, antigenicity, immunological reactions, and physiological outcomes. These results reveal that AAV-CRISPR-Cas9 evokes host responses with distinct cellular and molecular signatures, but unlike alternative delivery methods, does not induce detectable cellular damage in vivo. Our study provides a foundation for developing effective genome therapeutics mRNA-Seq from muscles (9 samples; 3 mice x 3 conditions) and lymph nodes (9 samples; 3 mice x 3 conditions).
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:The role of nutrient signaling processes in the fate decision of CD8 is incompletely understood. By performing in vivo pooled CRISPR-Cas9 screening, we uncovered nutrient signaling processes underpinning the dynamics and heterogeneity of CD8 T cell fate decisions.
