Screening | Technology | Description | Advantages and disadvantages | Ref. |
---|---|---|---|---|
Proteomics | Procode |
Barcoding system that leverages the use of protein tags to enable the multiplexing of >100 unique samples Can be applied to CRISPR screens with the use of high-dimensional methods, such as CyTOF, to characterize knockout constructs en masse |
Can also be used to evaluate overexpression cDNA constructs | 144 |
Transcriptomics | Perturb-seq | Pooled single guide RNA libraries are transduced in cells of choice and used in conjunction with scRNA-seq |
Combines scRNA-seq and CRISPR-based perturbations to perform many assays in a pool Limited by reliance on indirect indexing of single guide RNAs |
158 |
Direct capture Perturb-seq | Expression from single guide RNAs is sequenced alongside transcriptomic measurements | Targets individual genes with multiple single guide RNAs per cell; allows scRNA-seq experiments | 159 | |
Mosaic single-cell analysis by indexed CRISPR sequencing (Mosaic-seq) | Uses a CRISPR barcoding system in combination with the measurement of single cell gene expression to readout both the phenotypic perturbations and the barcode of the specific single guide RNA | High-throughput endogenous interrogation of enhancers evaluated in single cells | 160 | |
CRISPR droplet sequencing (CROP-seq) | A guide RNA serves as the barcode |
Enables pooled CRISPR screens with single-cell transcriptome resolution Overcomes the problem of lentiviral template switching by using CROP-seq lentiviral constructs |

Chromatin status | Perturb-ATAC | Combines CRISPR screening with scATAC-seq to measure the effect of CRISPR perturbations on chromatin status in single cells | NR | 162 |
