Project description:RNA-sequencing of PEO1 cells grown in suspension (SUS1 and SUS3) was performed to evaluate transcriptional reprogramming during anokis escape. CRISPR/Cas9 screen of PEO1 cells grown in adherent and suspension culture settings for 5 days or 10 days. GeCKO v2 library transduced in PEO1 cell line and cells were selected with puromycin. PEO1 line was authenticated prior to sequencing. PEO1 parental were confirmed to be BRCA2-mutated (5139C>G).
Project description:Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen using TKOv1 sgRNA library was performed in isogenic RBM10-proficient and RBM10-deficient HCC827 cells.

Project description:Docetaxel chemotherapy in metastatic prostate cancer offers only a modest survival benefit due to emerging resistance. To identify candidate therapeutic gene targets, we applied a murine prostate cancer orthograft model that recapitulates clinical invasive prostate cancer in a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen under docetaxel treatment pressure.
Project description:The functional relevance of many microRNAs in the context of tumor biology remains unclear. Using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, we performed a global loss-of-function screen to test the impact of individual microRNAs on the growth of FLT3-ITD positive leukemia cells. This approach identified both evolutionarily conserved and non-conserved human microRNAs that function to suppress or promote tumor cell growth, revealing that microRNAs are extensively integrated into the molecular networks that control tumor cell physiology. Our study describes a powerful genetic approach by which the function of individual microRNAs can be assessed on a global level, and its use will rapidly advance our understanding of how microRNAs contribute to human disease. Loss-of-function CRISPR-Cas9 screen identifies genes whose loss leads to increased or decreased FLT3-ITD+ cell growth over 23 day time-course
Project description:To search for factors regulating neuronal differentiation, we performed a genome-wide loss-of-function CRISPR/Cas9 screen in haploid human ESCs. The regulators were identified by the quantification of depletion of their mutant clones within a pooled loss-of-function library upon neuronal differentiation.
Project description:This is an in vitro genome-wide CRISPR/cas9 screen in human glioblastoma stem cells, screening for genes essential for survival of these cells. These cells express cas9 and have been transfected with a guide RNA library causing gene knockouts. We will analyse the sequencing data for depletion of guide RNAs.
