<i>In Vitro</i> Cleavage Efficiency of sgRNAs Correlates with Functional Genome Editing in Target Cells

21 May 2017

The Guide­it sgRNA Screening Kit is a complete system for predicting the cleavage efficacy of sgRNAs in vitro, prior to use for genome editing in cells. With this kit, a template containing an sgRNA­target site is created by PCR; then the test sgRNA and recombinant Cas9 nuclease are added. The efficiency of Cas9­ mediated cleavage can be measured by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.RNARNA is a nucleic acid that plays a key role in gene expression and protein synthesis. It serves as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes, carrying genetic instructions to produce proteins. Advances in RNA-based therapies, such as mRNA vaccines and gene editing, have revolutionized treatment strategies for genetic disorders and infectious diseases.
