Catalytically dead dCas9 fused to a transcriptional activator peptide can increase transcription of a specific gene. Design your gRNA sequence to direct the dCas9-activator to promoter or regulatory regions of your gene of interest. If the plasmid that you choose does not also express a gRNA, you will need to use a separate gRNA expression plasmid to target the dCas9-activator to your specific locus.




Browse, sort, or search the tables below for CRISPR plasmids for transcriptional activation.
Plasmids are available for expression in mammalian systems, bacteria, Drosophila, plants, and yeast.
