Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Schematic of formaldehyde (FA) and 5-aza-dC CRISPRi screens compared to non-treated conditions (NT) in K562 cells. b , Rank plot showing normalized Z-scores (NormZ) scores from DrugZ analysis and selected hits from the formaldehyde CRISPRi screen in a . c , The same as for b but for the 5-aza-dC CRISPRi screen. d , e , Clonogenic survival assays in WT, CSB −/− and XPA −/− HAP1 cells treated with formaldehyde ( d ) or 5-aza-dC ( e ). Error bars ± s.e.m., n = 4 replicates. f , Doxycycline (dox)-inducible expression of CSB or CSB K538R in CSB −/− TET3G HAP1 cells; representative of three independent experiments. g – i , Clonogenic survival assays in WT or CSB −/− TET3G cells with doxycycline-induced expression of CSB, CSB K538R or the empty vector (EV) treated with formaldehyde ( g ), 5-aza-dC ( h ) or illudin S ( i ). Symbols and error bars denote mean ± s.e.m., n = 3 replicates. j – l , Alamar blue cell viability assays in the indicated RPE1 cell lines treated with formaldehyde ( j ), 5-aza-dC ( k ) or illudin S ( l ). Symbols and error bars denote mean ± s.d., n = 3 replicates. Source numerical data and unprocessed blots are available in .
Article Snippet: A pooled single guide RNA library was generated by combining the human protein-coding genome-wide CRISPRi-v2 library (containing 5 gRNA per gene; Addgene #83969) with multiple CRISPRi non-coding libraries (10 gRNA per gene; Addgene #86538, #86539, #86544, #86548 and #86549), covering the all long non-coding RNA genes expressed in K562 cells.
