CRISPR Functional Genomics
We specialize in harnessing the power of CRISPR technology to accelerate scientific discovery. Our expertise spans a diverse range of applications, from precise genome engineering in cell lines to high-throughput genetic perturbations for screening and unbiased discovery. As a SciLifeLab National Infrastructure unit, we are accessible to the entire Swedish research community and are dedicated to delivering cutting-edge services to push the boundaries of technological innovation.

CFG offers massively parallel genetic perturbations and genetic screening for unbiased discovery. Examples of our toolbox include genome-wide or custom CRISPR-based loss- and gain-of-function screens, small screens coupled with single cell transcriptomics as a readout, base-editing tiling mutagenesis screens and other modalities.
