Human Activity-Optimized CRISPR Knockout Library (2 sub-libraries in lentiCRISPRv1)
(Pooled Library #1000000067)
- Purpose
Note: This library has been replaced by an updated version (see Depositor Comments below).
The Sabatini/Lander CRISPR pooled library is optimized for cleavage activity, in order to maximize the likelihood of gene knockout.
The library is split into two sub-libraries, each containing 5 sgRNAs per gene.
- Vector Backbone
lentiCRISPR v1- Note: This plasmid has been discontinued, as an updated version is available. For confirmation of screen hits, Addgene encourages users to use the updated lentiCRISPR v2, which can be requested separately.

Library Shipping
This library will be delivered as two pooled DNA half-libraries in microcentrifuge tubes on blue ice. The tubes' contents will not necessarily be frozen. For best results, minimize freeze-thaws.
Note that each subpool must be transformed separately.
For each half-library tube, you will receive:
-
Volume∼15 µL
-
Concentration10 ng/µL

Depositor Comments
Note: This item has been discontinued. The Sabatini and Lander labs have released an updated version of the library with an additional tube of gRNAs here.

Diagram of Library Screening Process
When performing sgRNA validation in a Cas9-expressing cell line, the depositing laboratory recommends using plasmid pLenti-sgRNA (Addgene #71409).
