Pooled Libraries


In addition to the 150,531 plasmids in Addgene's repository, depositors have shared 350 pooled libraries. To help you find what you're looking for, we've gathered our pooled plasmid libraries on one page.

A pooled library is a set of plasmids all built with the same backbone and only differing in a small region. Pooled libraries are normally supplied as a single tube with all the plasmids in the library mixed together. The number of unique plasmids in a pooled library can range from a few hundred to millions. There are several different types of pooled libraries, including cDNA, shRNA, barcoding, phage display, and gRNA libraries.

Read our Pooled Library Guide for more information about:

  • Library amplification
  • Types of pooled library screens
  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS)

Barcoding Libraries

Barcoded libraries contain very large numbers of unique barcodes used to mark individual cells. These barcodes will then be inherited by any daughter cells, making barcoded libraries ideal for lineage tracing. These libraries are also commonly used to monitor the dynamics of heterogeneous tumors.

cDNA Libraries

cDNA libraries are created from an organism’s actively transcribed mRNA, as opposed to genomic libraries, which are created from genomic DNA. Since cDNA libraries lack introns and other nontranscribed sequences, they are smaller and easier to use than genomic libraries, but they don’t contain as much regulatory information. To make a cDNA library, cDNA is synthesized, then ligated to adapters, and cloned into a given vector.

CRISPR Libraries

CRISPR knockout libraries are commonly used for loss-of-function screens. In these screens, multiple gRNAs are present for each gene targeted by the library. The effects of CRISPR knockout are not easily reversible, as the targeted gene sequence is mutated by CRISPR. Other CRISPR screens include CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) and inhibition (CRISPRi) screens. These screens use catalytically dead dCas9 to inhibit or activate given genes without direct genomic modification, and the effects are therefore reversible.

When choosing your library, please be aware that some of the library vectors contain Cas9 (1 plasmid system), while others require co-infection with Cas9-expressing virus or use in cells expressing Cas9 (2 plasmid system).

Knockout

CRISPR knockout libraries are designed to create insertions or deletions in targeted genes across the genome, rendering them nonfunctional. Libraries are designed to target throughout the genome unless specified. To limit false positives or false negatives, each library contains multiple gRNAs for each gene targeted by the library. Each library also contains non-targeting control gRNAs.

Screening Libraries

Screening libraries (non-CRISPR) can be used for different types of high-throughput experiments, including assay of protein-protein interactions or the effects of mutagenesis of a single gene. For example, phage display is a type of screening library that is used for finding binding partners for targets of interest. It relies on fusions of gene fragments and a bacteriophage coat protein.

shRNA Libraries

shRNA libraries permit reversible loss-of-function screening to elucidate which genes are involved in a phenotype. Each library contains multiple shRNA sequences for each target gene; a true positive hit (a particular target gene) in an shRNA screen should show consistent results from the multiple shRNAs that target it. shRNA libraries may also be barcoded to allow for easy identification of the shRNA a given cell carries.

DECIPHER libraries are lentiviral barcoded shRNA libraries designed for RNAi screening. It’s important to note that these libraries are not genome-wide; instead, each library is enriched for a smaller set of biologically relevant genes. The DECIPHER barcoding system makes it easy to determine which shRNAs have been enriched or depleted in a cell population; each plasmid carries a unique 18 bp barcode that can be easily identified using next-generation sequencing.

As of October 2016, the DECIPHER libraries have been discontinued.
