Abstract

This chapter details a compendium of protocols that collectively enable the reader to perform a pooled shRNA and/or CRISPR screen—with methods to identify and validate positive controls and subsequent hits; establish a viral titer in the cell line of choice; create and screen libraries, sequence strategies, and bioinformatics resources to analyze outcomes. Collectively, this provides an overarching resource from the start to finish of a screening project, making this technology possible in all laboratories.
