Pooled Libraries

Do you need your plasmid library expanded? Or are you planning to create a custom overexpression library?
We can help design and carry out tailored pool‑library projects to support your research.

For pool‑library inquiries, please contact us. We can provide a customized service that may include:

Pool Expansion from DNA Preparations

Examples include:

Commercial pooled libraries delivered to us as DNA (e.g. )
Electroporation of the DNA into suitable E. coli cells
Collection of colonies ensuring at least 1000× library coverage
Preparation of pooled plasmid DNA using midipreps

Pooled DNA Preparation from Glycerol Stocks

We can prepare pooled DNA preparation directly from glycerol stocks. You can choose any clones from our collection:

: 16 934 human and 1 758 mouse cDNA clones
of shRNA clones
gRNA library

Or you can provide us:

Commercial pooled libraries as glycerol stocks, such as: Horizon

Pool Cloning of Synthetic Libraries

We can construct pooled libraries by cloning synthetic pooled constructs (e.g from ) into the expression vector of your choice.

If your constructs are intended for viral delivery, we can forward the pooled plasmids directly to for virus production.
