Transfectable functional genomics libraries are traditionally the workhorses of functional genomics screening using reporter gene assays. These libraries offer insight into fundamental cellular processes governing health and disease and can be utilized in an arrayed fashion which makes them uniquely suited to deconvolute complicated disease phenotypes and dissect biological networks that would otherwise be inaccessible. Here we give an overview of the principles for the generation, screening and data analysis of such arrayed libraries. Specifically we cover the differences between the various transfectable reagents, library selection and handling, and data analysis to offer a comprehensive understanding of these important technologies and how to apply them.

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide in females. This occurs primarily due to the infection of high-risk Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), although in advanced stages it requires support from host cellular factors. BRN3A is one such host cellular factors, whose expression remains high in cervical cancers and upregulates tumorigenic HPV gene expression.

Exploiting the efficient Exo:Cas12i3-5M fusions for robust single and multiplex gene editing in rice.

The development of a single and multiplex gene editing system is highly desirable for either functional genomics or pyramiding beneficial alleles in crop improvement. CRISPR/Cas12i3, which belongs to the Class II Type V-I Cas system, has attracted extensive attention recently due to its smaller protein size and less restricted canonical "TTN" protospacer adjacent motif (PAM). However, due to its relatively lower editing efficiency, Cas12i3-mediated multiplex gene editing has not yet been documented in plants.

Background: Litter size in mice is an important fitness and economic feature that is controlled by several genes and influenced by non-genetic factors too. High positive selection pressure in each generation for Litter size at birth (LSB), resulted in the development of high and low prolific lines of inbred Swiss albino mice (SAM). Despite uniform management conditions, these lines showed variability in LSB across the generation.

Unlabelled: Bacterial typing at whole-genome scales is now feasible owing to decreasing costs in high-throughput sequencing and the recent advances in computation. The unprecedented resolution of whole-genome typing is achieved by genotyping the variable segments of bacterial genomes that can fluctuate significantly in gene content. However, due to the transient and hypervariable nature of many accessory elements, the value of the added resolution in outbreak investigations remains disputed.
