What is a sgRNA Library?
An sgRNA (single guide RNA) library is a collection of diverse sgRNA sequences designed for CRISPR-based genome-wide or targeted gene editing applications. These libraries allow researchers to perform systematic, large-scale genetic perturbations by targeting multiple genes simultaneously.
Features of sgRNA Libraries
- Diverse Coverage: Genome-wide or custom-targeted sgRNA sequences for comprehensive or specific gene editing.
- High-throughput Application: Suitable for large-scale functional screenings in various biological models.
- Customizability: Designed to meet specific experimental requirements, including different gene sets, promoter-driven expression, or multiplexed CRISPR applications.
A well-designed sgRNA library ensures comprehensive genome coverage, optimal target selection, and minimal off-target effects, enhancing the reliability and interpretability of CRISPR screening results.

Types of sgRNA Libraries from BOC Sciences
BOC Sciences offers a comprehensive range of customized sgRNA library construction services to meet the diverse needs of our clients. With our expertise in CRISPR technology, we understand that every research project requires specific, tailored solutions. Whether you are focusing on functional genomics, disease modeling, or drug discovery, we provide flexible options that can be fully customized to your project requirements.
Whole-Genome sgRNA Libraries
We offer whole-genome sgRNA libraries that provide coverage of all genes within a genome. These libraries are ideal for unbiased, high-throughput functional screening. Researchers can use these libraries to perform comprehensive genome-wide screens, identifying critical genes involved in cell survival, disease mechanisms, or therapeutic target discovery.
Targeted sgRNA Libraries
For projects that focus on specific gene sets, pathways, or biological processes, we offer targeted sgRNA libraries. These libraries are designed to target a curated list of genes, enabling in-depth functional analysis of particular areas, such as cancer-related genes, immune response pathways, or metabolic processes. Targeted libraries ensure more focused and cost-effective experiments without the need to edit the entire genome.
CRISPR Activation (CRISPRa) and CRISPR Interference (CRISPRi) Libraries
Our CRISPRa (activation) and CRISPRi (interference) libraries are designed to upregulate or downregulate gene expression rather than induce complete gene knockout. These libraries are essential for studies that aim to explore gene activation or silencing in gene regulation, disease modeling, or functional genomics.
Multiplexed sgRNA Libraries
For advanced CRISPR applications that involve the simultaneous editing of multiple genes, we provide multiplexed sgRNA libraries. These libraries are ideal for synthetic biology or pathway engineering, where the manipulation of several genes at once is necessary for creating complex biological systems, optimizing cellular processes, or generating custom phenotypes.
Custom Gene-Specific sgRNA Libraries
In addition to our broader library offerings, we also provide custom gene-specific sgRNA libraries, which can be designed to target individual genes or gene families based on the user's experimental needs. Whether targeting oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, or genes involved in drug resistance mechanisms, these libraries allow for precise and targeted gene editing.
Large-Scale sgRNA Libraries Amplification & Purification
To support high-throughput CRISPR screening, we provide large-scale sgRNA library amplification using optimized bacterial strains to:
- Maintain sequence uniformity and diversity, preventing bias in sgRNA representation.
- Generate high-quality plasmid preparations for lentiviral packaging, transfection, or direct in vitro applications.
- Offer endotoxin-free preparations for sensitive cell lines or in vivo studies.
