Horizon Discovery Edit-R CRISPRa crRNA Libraries

Apr 19, 2018

Horizon Discovery announced the introduction of its Edit-R CRISPR arrayed crRNA (CRISPR RNA) libraries, which offer a tool for drug discovery, pathway analysis and disease progression studies. The libraries allow one-gene-per-well investigation by using high-content assays. The Edit-R CRISPRa portfolio also includes catalogue libraries for human and mouse gene families, including ubiquitin enzymes, transcription factors, and kinases, in addition to druggable gene targets and the whole human genome. The firm also noted that researchers will also be able to use bespoke collections to target a specialized gene target list.
