The application of CRISPR-mediated library screening has fundamentally transformed functional genomics by revealing the complexity of virus-host interactions. This protocol describes the use of CRISPR-mediated library screening to identify key functional genes regulating the innate immune response to PEDV infection. We detail a step-by-step process, starting from the design and construction of a customized CRISPR knockout library targeting genes involved in innate immunity to the effective delivery of these constructs into cells using lentiviral vectors. Subsequently, we outline the process of identifying functional genes postviral attack, including the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS), to analyze and identify knockout cells that exhibit altered responses to infection. This integrated approach provides researchers in immunology and virology with a resource and a robust framework for uncovering the genetic basis of host-pathogen interactions and the arsenal of the innate immune system against viral invasions.

Article Synopsis
- Approximately 250 million people globally are chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV), which is linked to liver cancer but its integration into cancer cells isn't fully understood.
- Researchers aimed to find vulnerability factors related to HBV-infected liver cancer using CRISPR technology, focusing on the differences between normal and HBV-integrated liver cells.
- Four key genes were identified as potential vulnerability factors, with INSIG2 playing a significant role in inhibiting cell growth specifically in HBV-integrated liver cells by causing cell cycle arrest through a CDK2-dependent mechanism.

Article Synopsis
- Robust high-throughput assays are essential in drug discovery, and this study introduces Invasion-Block, an automated platform for analyzing how cancer cells invade through tissue.
- Using this platform, researchers screened nearly 4000 FDA-approved drugs and another 210 kinase inhibitors, discovering that certain inhibitors notably decreased the invasive behavior of melanoma cells.
- The study highlights that targeting the ATM kinase could be a promising strategy for developing treatments to prevent melanoma metastasis in patients.

To improve the performance of yeast cell factories for industrial production, extensive CRISPR-mediated genome editing systems have been applied by artificially creating double-strand breaks (DSBs) to introduce mutations with the assistance of intracellular DSB repair. Diverse strategies of DSB repair are required to meet various demands, including precise editing or random editing with customized gRNAs or a gRNA library. Although most yeasts remodeling techniques have shown rewarding performance in laboratory verification, industrial yeast strain manipulation relies only on very limited strategies.
