Poster | Design of sgRNA libraries for CRISPRn screens

The design of sgRNAs for CRISPRn, CRISPRi and CRISPRa is a crucial factor determining the success of CRISPR screening experiments. Myllia´s proprietary sgRNA design algorithm selects highly active sgRNA sequences for targeting both essential and non-essential genes and appears to be “superior” to other publicly available libraries.

sgRNA design for CRISPRn (knockout) screens

Myllia´s sgRNA design algorithm selects highly active sgRNA sequences for targeting both essential and non-essential genes and appears to be “superior” to other publicly available libraries.

Essentially, we have performed CRISPR screens to target essential and non-essential genes using two different read-outs to validate the high activity Myllia’s sgRNA designs:

Dropout screen based on essentiality targeting 24 genes
FACS-based screen with a CD59 receptor read-out targeting 9 genes

We will expand the screening campaign to target additional non-essential genes that may help further improve sgRNA design and increase editing rates. Download the sgRNA design poster highlighting all relevant results for the dropout and FACS-based screens:
