Purpose
This retroviral CRISPR knockout library targets mouse messenger-RNA binding proteins with 10 single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) per gene. The retroviral backbone encodes both puromycin resistance and the CD90.1 selection marker.

Vector Backbone
- MSCV_hU6_BbsI-ccdB-BbsI_iScaffold_mPGK_puro-2A-Thy1.1
- Does not express Cas
- Not available through Addgene
- Plasmid annotation and sequence (Genbank) (12.5 KB)
- Plasmid description: MSCV_hU6_BbsI-ccdB-BbsI_iScaffold_mPGK_puro-2A-Thy1.1 (MSCV_sgRNA_puro-Thy1.1) was generated in one round of cloning from Addgene Plasmid 27490: MIGR1. A PCR product encoding hU6_BbsI-ccdB-BbsI-iScaffold_mPGK_Puro-2A-Thy1.1 was ligated by Gibson assembly into a XhoI + SalI linearised vector.

Turner Lab Mouse messenger-RBP Library Overview
(A) Schematic representation of retrovirus sgRNA library that encodes puromycin resistance and CD90.1 (Thy1.1) selection markers, and encodes an improved sgRNA scaffold that lacks four consecutive thymine residues and has an extended duplex region. (Top) Schematic representation of vector backbone that encodes ccdB toxin gene to improve cloning efficiency. (B) Distribution of the representation of sgRNAs in library. The library is normally distributed and tightly distributed.
