SBI – Multiplex gRNA CRISPR/Cas9 Kits
To achieve uniform delivery of multiple gRNAs for CRISPR/Cas9-based genome engineering, SBI has developed a revolutionary and user-friendly system, the PrecisionX™ Multiplex gRNA Cloning Kit, which allows assembling multiple gRNAs into any gRNA vector in one 15 minute reaction.
- Save time and reagents - no need to clone separate constructs bearing different gRNAs
- Simple two-step PCR and “fusion” reaction to generate multi-cistronic gRNA constructs
- Compatible with all types of Cas9/gRNA expression vectors containing H1 or U6 promoters
- Available bundled together with a Cas9 SmartNuclease or SmartNickase vector for added convenience
- Ideal for Cas9 Nickase applications for precise targeting
- Enables precise deletion of defined genomic segments

NEW LITERATURE
Abgent - Oncogene Expression Reference Guide Poster
Oncogenes were selected by supportive evidence in two applications, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. Oncogenes are grouped by cellular localization (membrane, cytoplasmic, nuclear). For each oncogene, the tissue with highest mRNA expression is denoted and the Normalized level of expression for that tissue is shown. The poster includes images of exemplary antibody staining for each cell locations. Click here to view online.
