Combinatorial CRISPR screening is useful for investigating synthetic lethality (SL) gene pairs. Here, we detail the steps for dual-gRNA library construction, with the introduction of two backbones, LentiGuide_DKO and LentiCRISPR_DKO. We describe steps for screening with 22Rv1-Cas9 and SaOS2-Cas9 cells followed by sequencing and data analysis. By introducing two backbones, we optimized the library construction process, facilitated standard pair-end sequencing, and provided options of screening on cells with or without modification of Cas9 expression.
组合型 CRISPR 筛选对于研究合成致死(SL)基因对很有用。在这里,我们详细介绍了双 gRNA 文库构建的步骤,引入了两个骨架,LentiGuide_DKO 和 LentiCRISPR_DKO。我们描述了使用 22Rv1-Cas9 和 SaOS2-Cas9 细胞进行筛选的步骤,然后进行测序和数据分析。通过引入两个骨架,我们优化了文库构建过程,方便了标准的双端测序,并提供了在 Cas9 表达修饰或不修饰的细胞上进行筛选的选项。
