HiScribe T7 High Yield RNA Synthesis Kit

Catalog Number:

E2040S

The WNT pathway is essential for embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. Deregulation of this pathway results in cancers of the stomach, intestine, breast, etc. I am interested in studying the molecular mechanism of oncogenic WNT signal transduction to identify potential targets for therapeutic intervention of colon cancer. The goal of this experiment is compare the editing efficiency of sgRNA purchased from a commercial vendor to that of a homemade version using the NEB HiScribe T7 High Yield RNA Synthesis Kit in CRISPR/Cas9 RNP format.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

RNA synthesis for CRISPR/Cas9 application

Starting Material

dsDNA obtained by PCR amplification (template)

Tips

Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Results Summary

I routinely test several CRISPR guide RNA sequences to pick guides with the best INDEL efficiency. This can get expensive if the guide has to be obtained from a commercial vendor. So, I had tested this RNA synthesis kit from NEB for my CRISPR/Cas9 RNP experiment. The editing efficiency using this homemade sgRNA was similar to the one from a commercial vendor.
