Article Title: CRISPR/Cas-mediated knockin in human pluripotent stem cells
Abstract: Fluorescent reporter and epitope-tagged human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) greatly facilitate studies on the pluripotency and differentiation characteristics of these cells. Unfortunately traditional procedures to generate such lines are hampered by a low targeting effi ciency that necessitates a lengthy process of selection followed by the removal of the selection cassette. Here we describe a procedure to generate fl uorescent reporter and epitope tagged hPSCs in an effi cient one-step process using the CRISPR/Cas technology. Although the method described uses our recently developed iCRISPR platform, the protocols can be adapted for general use with CRISPR/Cas or other engineered nucleases. The transfection procedures described could also be used for additional applications, such as overexpression or lineage tracing studies. © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2017.
