Cas9-U6/H1 DualGuide
Single-Vector Knockout Systems

Signosis offers a comprehensive suite of Cas9-U6/H1 DualGuide Single-Vector Knockout Systems, featuring a single-vector design with dual-promoter sgRNA expression for each knockout target, optimized for enhanced knockout efficiency and targeting pathway regulators, kinases, and receptors with increased reliability

Principle 

The CRISPR-Cas9 All-in-One Knockout Vectors offer a complete, ready-to-use solution for precise gene disruption across a broad range of cellular systems. Featuring a one-vector dual sgRNA design, this system streamlines the CRISPR editing workflow, enhancing both efficiency and consistency. By integrating Cas9 and two sgRNAs targeting distinct regions of the same gene or locus into a single vector, this approach simplifies cloning, reduces transfection complexity, and ensures higher co-delivery rates. The result is more reliable and efficient gene knockouts, making it ideal for gene function studies, pathway analysis, and therapeutic target validation.

Signosis offers a suite of Cas9-U6/H1 DualGuide Single-Vector Knockout Systems targets key regulators in major signal transduction pathways We can also customize our vectors to target your specific gene or pathway of interest, providing tailored solutions for your research needs.

Key features include:

  • Dual-sgRNA, single-vector design: Integrates Cas9 and dual sgRNA expression cassettes into a single vector, simplifying cloning and reducing DNA load. This design eliminates the need for multiple vectors, improving workflow efficiency and up to 30-50% higher knockout efficiency compared to traditional pooled systems. It’s especially beneficial for difficult-to-transfect cells like primary or suspension cells, where co-delivery is often challenging.

  • Dual sgRNA expression: Independent U6 and H1 promoters drive the expression of two sgRNAs targeting distinct regions within the same gene or locus. This minimizes promoter interference and ensures balanced sgRNA expression, increasing the probability of complete gene disruption and improving knockout efficiency by 15-25% compared to single-promoter or pooled vector systems.

  • Enhanced editing efficiency: Co-expression of two sgRNAs targeting different regions within a gene improves editing precision, boosts the likelihood of bi-allelic knockouts, and reduces escape variants. Typical knockout efficiencies range from 60-80%, ensuring robust gene editing outcomes.
