Abstract:
Mitochondria play a central role in maintaining normal cellular homeostasis as well as contributing to the pathogenesis of numerous disease states. The advent of CRISPR-Cas9 screening technologies has greatly accelerated the study of mitochondrial biology. In this chapter, we review the various CRISPR-Cas9 screening platforms that are currently available and prior studies that leveraged this technology to identify genes involved in mitochondrial biology in both healthy and disease states. In addition, we discuss the challenges associated with current CRISPR-Cas9 platforms and potential solutions to further enhance this promising technology.
