Genome editing technologies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) systems have ushered in a new era of targeted DNA manipulation. The easy programmability of CRISPR using short oligonucleotides enables rapid synthesis of large-scale libraries for functional genetic screens. Here we present fundamental concepts and methods for pooled CRISPR screens and review biological results from recent genome-scale loss-of-function and gain-of-function screens. We also discuss new frontiers in pooled screens, including novel effector domains for functional screens and applications in the noncoding genome.
诸如成簇规律间隔短回文重复序列(CRISPR)系统等基因组编辑技术开创了靶向DNA操纵的新时代。CRISPR利用短寡核苷酸实现的易于编程性,使得能够快速合成用于功能基因筛选的大规模文库。在此,我们介绍了汇集式CRISPR筛选的基本概念和方法,并回顾了近期全基因组规模功能丧失和功能获得筛选的生物学结果。我们还讨论了汇集式筛选的新前沿,包括用于功能筛选的新型效应结构域以及在非编码基因组中的应用。
