Genome Editing Screening Service for Infectious Disease Research

Genome editing screening can precisely modify the genome of cells or organisms to simulate the infection process and anti-infective effects, thus researching and screening for anti-infective hits. Creative Biolabs provides efficient genome editing screening services and innovative research models to assist clients in anti-infect hit discovery.

Genome Editing Screening Types

  • Gene Knockout Screening
    Gene knockout screening is the removal of specific genes from the genome through gene editing technology, which in turn screens and identifies key genes associated with the infection process and understands their role in infection.
  • Gene Knockdown Screening
    Knockdown screening is a method of screening for promoter genes or causative agents associated with infectious diseases by reducing the expression level of the target gene to inhibit its function. This is usually achieved with shRNA or siRNA.
  • Gene Activation Screening
    Gene activation screening typically involves the use of gene regulatory elements (e.g., promoters) or transcription factors to increase the expression level of the target gene to enhance its function. Gene activation screening allows researchers to identify protective or immune response genes associated with the infection process and explore their protective role in infection.
  • Gene Overexpression Screening
    Gene overexpression screens are performed by introducing target genes into cells and causing them to be overexpressed, usually through using viral vectors or plasmids, in order to explore the role of facilitator genes or disease-causing factors associated with the infection process in the promotion of infection.
  • Customized Lentiviral Screening
    Customized Lentiviral Screening efficiently introduces genetic material into dividing and non-dividing cells utilizing customized lentiviral vectors, allowing for the rapid and efficient identification of genes associated with the infection process among a large number of target genes, while providing reproducibility and high sensitivity.
  • Deconvolution
    Deconvolution allows for the isolation of individual components from complex mixtures in infectious disease studies to analyze complex biological samples such as infected tissues or body fluids in infection models. Working with algorithms and statistical models, researchers can identify and quantify different cell types, viral particles, and other biological components of the infection process to understand the interactions between the different components of the infection process and the mechanism of action of drug targets.

Genome Editing Screening Service Process

1. Construct genome-wide target screening libraries.

With knowledge of your research background, experimental purpose and gene editing screening method, we will utilize gene editing tools to construct genome-wide target screening libraries, covering all genes and non-coding regions.

2. Infection model screening.

We would screen genome-wide target screening libraries with your requested infection model to identify genes that are inhibitory to the infection model.

3. Genome editing validation and optimization.

Validate and optimize the potential pharmaceutical targets screened, with performing precise genome editing validations, dose-response curve determinations, etc.

4. Data analysis and interpretation.

We will conduct a comprehensive data analysis of the experimental results and provide target screening results to help you interpret the results, explain possible effects, and inform the direction of subsequent experiments.
