CRISPR knockout screening outperforms shRNA and CRISPRi in identifying essential genes

CRISPR knockout screens outperform shRNA and CRISPR-interference screens in a side-by-side comparison. High-throughput genetic screens have become essential tools for studying a wide variety of biological processes. Here we experimentally compare systems based on clustered regularly interspaced shor...
