Generation of Efficient Knock-in Mouse and Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Using CRISPR-Cas9 (original) (raw)
Abstract
A knock-in can generate fluorescent or Cre-reporter under the control of an endogenous promoter. It also generates knock-out or tagged-protein with fluorescent protein and short tags for tracking and purification. Recent advances in genome editing with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) significantly increased the efficiencies of making knock-in cells. Here we describe the detailed protocols of generating knock-in mouse and human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) by electroporation and lipofection, respectively.
