Custom CRISPRi sgRNA Vectors    

dCas9 can be fused with a gene repressor protein, the KRAB protein, to form a complex CRISPRi (CRISPR interference) that inhibits gene expression. dCas9-KRAB targeting to the promoter region causes steric hindrance that halts transcript elongation by RNA polymerase, resulting in the target gene being repressed. CRISPR-based gene interference provides an efficient and specific genome-targeting platform for transcriptional control without altering the target DNA sequence.

CRISPR/Cas9 Platform^CB provides a complete and powerful solution for CRISPR gene interference helping you to specifically suppress the expression of any gene. Our custom CRISPRi sgRNA vectors can be used on a variety of cells, including easy-to-transfect and difficult-to-transfect cells, covering the entire genome of humans, mice, and rats. Just send us the gene ID you are interested in, we will design, clone and provide this powerful technology for you.

Characteristics and advantages of CRISPRi

• Efficient and specific suppress gene expression without altering the target DNA sequence.
• Using several non-overlapping sgRNAs per gene can increase the suppression level to 99.9%, or using unmatched sgRNAs can reduce the suppression level.
• As an exogenous system, CRISPRi does not compete with endogenous mechanisms such as microRNA expression or function.
• Because CRISPRi works at the DNA level, it can target any transcripts such as non-coding RNA, microRNA, antisense transcripts, nuclear-localized RNA, and polymerase III transcripts.

Applications

• Strong transcriptional repression in multiple cell lines
• Functional genomics/target verification
• Unbiased negative gene screening - Includes cell-based survival/proliferation, sensitivity to drugs or toxins, screening of fluorescent reporter genes, and single-cell transcriptome
• Drug discovery and screening targets
• Immunotherapy research
