Bikard E. coli Genome-Wide Inhibition Library
(Pooled Library #115927)

  • Purpose

    This library contains ~93,000 unique guide RNAs targeting random positions along the genome of E. coli MG1655 with a NGG PAM motif. The library contains an average of 19 targets per gene and was made by cloning a pool of guide RNAs oligos into psgRNA (#114005) (ori: ColE1) by Gibson assembly.

    This library can be used with SpdCas9 to perform pooled CRISPRi screens as shown ( Cui et al., 2018 ; Rousset et al. 2018). Screens can be performed using strain LC-E75 (#115925), E. coli strain MG1655 expressing dCas9 under the control of a Tet promoter integrated at the 186 attB site, or strain FR-E01 (#118727), E. coli strain MG1655 expressing dCas9 under the control of a Tet promoter integrated at the HK022 attB site.

Library Shipping

This library is delivered as suspended DNA in a microcentrifuge tube on blue ice. The tube's contents will not necessarily be frozen. For best results, minimize freeze/thaws.

NOTE: 100 ng of the library can be electroporated into cells for an experiment. Sufficient sample is provided for several experiments and amplification of the library.

  • Volume
    ∼20 µL
  • Concentration
    50 ng/µL
