CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) is a genetic perturbation technique that allows for sequence-specific repression of gene expression in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. [1] It was first developed by Stanley Qi and colleagues in the laboratories of Wendell Lim , Adam Arkin, Jonathan Weissman , and Jennifer Doudna . [ 2 ]

The exact protocol for lentiviral production will vary depending on the research aim and applied library. [35] [43] [44] If a two vector-system is used, for example, cells are sequentially transduced with Cas9 and sgRNA in a two-step procedure. [35] [44] Although more complex, this has the advantage of a higher titre for the sgRNA library virus ...
Apart from knock-out there are also knock-down (CRISPRi) and activation (CRISPRa) libraries, which use the ability of proteolytically deactivated Cas9-fusion proteins (dCas9) to bind target DNA, which means that a gene of interest is not cut but is over-expressed or repressed. It made CRISPR/Cas9 system even more interesting in gene editing.
CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) on the other hand utilizes a catalytically inactive nuclease to physically block RNA polymerase, effectively preventing or halting transcription. [8] Perturb-seq has been utilized with both the knockout and CRISPRi approaches in the Dixit et al. paper [2] and the Adamson et al. paper, [1] respectively.
CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) is a gene regulation technique that utilizes an engineered form of the CRISPR-Cas9 system to enhance the expression of specific genes without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
