Material Requests

The Laboratory for Genomics Research (LGR) is dedicated to advancing drug discovery and academic research. The LGR has developed a genome-wide dual guide CRISPRi library, a CRISPRko guide library, and the LGR guide vector backbone plasmid. Material requests from UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley investigators to further the field of functional genomics will be entertained via Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) submissions.

Genome-wide CRISPRi Library

PURPOSE
Ultra-compact, human genome-wide CRISPRi library targeting each gene with a single element encoding a dual sgRNA cassette.

VECTOR BACKBONE
Lentiviral sgRNA vector for Perturb-seq with mU6 sgRNA promoter, CR1 constant region with CS1 capture sequence in stem loop, and UCOE EF1alpha driving PURO-BFP marker expression. CR3 constant region - hU6 sgRNA promoter flanked by BsmBI sites.
