    Abstract: Described are methods comprises transducing a mammalian cell with one or more virus vectors. Each vector comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding a Cpf1 (also known as Cas12a) protein and an optional selectable marker in operative association with an RNA pol II promoter which controls expression thereof; and a CRISPR RNA (crRNA) array comprising at least two spacers in operative association with an RNA pol III promoter. Each spacer encodes an RNA guide which hybridizes to a unique sequence located 3? from a T-rich protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM) in a genomic region of interest. The method further comprises culturing the transduced cells, thereby providing a plurality of cultured cell cultures, each cell culture comprising said deletion. Additionally, described are compositions used in methods as well as libraries generated by the methods.
