Project description:sgRNA whole genome library sequencing in OCI-AML5-Cas9 EKO library cells overexpressing HMGA-YFP or control YFP vectors. The goal of this experiment is to identify synthetic lethal and synthetic rescue sgRNAs with regard to HMGA2 overexpression in AML.
Project description:Human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines OCI-AML2 and OCI-AML3 were used in a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated approach to specifically target DDX3X’s gene sequences encoding the RNA binding domain of the helicase. DDX3X RNA binding domain is bipartite in the two halves of the helicase core. sgRNAs were designed to target both halves of the domain (named RNA binding domain A and B – RBDA and RBDB). We performed RNA-seq to observe the gene expression changes in both OCI-AML2 and OCI-AML3 cell lines following the not-combined CRISPR/Cas9 –mediated targeting of both regions of the DDX3X RNA binding domain. Control CRISPR/Cas9 performed with no sgRNA expressing vector (named “empty vector”) was performed in both cell lines. The latter condition was used as a control for gene expression changes analysis, for each cell line.
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:OCI-LY3 cells were infected with CRISPR/Cas9 library, selected for puromycin resistance for integration events and exposed to CG-806 or vehicle, DMSO, at 1 microMolar concentrations. Cells were collected at time 0 (post puromycin selection) and day 7. DNA was extracted and sgRNA barcodes were amplified. PCR library was deep sequenced using highthroughput Illumina platform Novaseq 6000.
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.
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.
