Biallelic genome editing of human stem cells at scale

Koutsourakis Manousos , Bushel Wendy , Skarnes William C.

The advent of site-specific nucleases and improved conditions for human iPSC culture now permits efficient engineering of human stem cells. CRISPR-Cas9 technology, in particular, provides a facile tool for the generation of a range of alleles in human stem cells with little risk of off-target damage. We established a high-throughput pipeline for the generation of homozygous knockout human iPSCs. We construct short arm targeting vectors and sgRNA expression plasmids in 96-well ...
