Human CRISPR Activation Library (SAM - 2 plasmid system)
(Pooled Library #1000000078)

Print
  • Purpose

    Version 2 of the human CRISPR/Cas9 SAM (Synergistic Activation Mediator) pooled library. This library uses an engineered protein complex for the transcriptional activation of endogenous genes.

    For SAM gain-of-function screening, this gRNA library has to be combined with 1 additional SAM construct, MS2-P65-HSF1 (Addgene plasmid #89308), which is provided with the library.

    • Note: Libraries ordered prior to 4/3/2017 were shipped with Addgene plasmid #61426 rather than #89308

  • Vector Backbone
    lentiSAMv2- this backbone contains dCas9-VP64-Blast and sgRNA(MS2)

Library Shipping

Each library is delivered in a microcentrifuge tube on blue ice. The tube's contents will not necessarily be frozen. For best results, minimize freeze-thaws.

  • Volume
    ∼20 µL
  • Concentration
    50 ng/µL

You will also receive a bacterial stab of the MS2-P65-HSF1 plasmid (Addgene #89308). Please do NOT order this plasmid in addition to this library.

Resource Information

Depositor Comments

The SAM library consists of 3 unique sgRNAs targeting the RefSeq coding isoforms in the proximal promoter (>90% of sgRNAs are targeted to the first 200bp upstream of the transcription start site of their target).
