sgRNA Pool for Streptococcus pneumoniae
(Pooled Library #170432)

Print
  • Purpose

    This concise CRISPR pooled library contains only 1,499 sgRNAs to target the whole genome of S. pneumoniae D39V with one sgRNA per operon or gene. The sgRNA pool also covers core operons of other pneumococcal strains:

    • R6 (estimated 90.3% coverage of annotated genetic elements)
    • TIGR4 (72.2% coverage)
    • Hungary 19A-6 (66.6% coverage)
    • Taiwan 19F-14 (71.6% coverage)
    • 11A (66.8% coverage)
    • G54 (72.1% coverage)

    This library can be transformed into S. pneumoniae with inducible dCas9 to make an inducible CRISPR inhibition library.

  • Vector Backbone

    pPEPZ-sgRNAclone (Plasmid #141090) - does not express Cas9

Depositor Comments

The depositing lab developed Crispery (Link opens in a new window) to analyze the NGS data: Crispery was developed in Python to streamline the initial sequencing data analyses in a single step. It automatically and easily performs read quality filtering and sgRNA alignment for the input fastq.gz files. The program returns a CSV file with all absolute sgRNA read counts per condition for downstream analysis.

Crispery is available as a compiled executable file requiring no Python installation, and can be run as a standalone program in MS Windows, macOS and Linux (Ubuntu). In addition, it is available as a PyPI module (Link opens in a new window). All versions are available for download at Zenodo (Link opens in a new window). The original Python 3 code, user instructions, and test data are available on the Veening lab's GitHub repository (Link opens in a new window).

The depositing lab also developed an R-based pipeline for sgRNA design (Link opens in a new window).
