Randomized CRISPR-Cas Transcriptional Perturbation Screening Reveals Protective Genes against Alpha-Synuclein Toxicity

We compared transcriptome profile of ITox2C strain expressing dCas9-VP64 (aka screen strain) that express gRNA 9-1 with those expressing no gRNA Overall design: mRNA profiles of Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303 expressing SNCA and dCas9-VP64 (screen strain) with gRNA 9-1 or no gRNA (negative control) were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicates, using Illumina HiSeq.
