Pipeline for the Generation and Characterization of Transgenic Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Using the CRISPR/Cas9 Technology
Résumé
Recent advances in genome engineering based on the CRISPR/Cas9 technology have revolutionized our ability to manipulate genomic DNA. Its use in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has allowed a wide range of mutant cell lines to be obtained at an unprecedented rate. The combination of these two groundbreaking technologies has tremendous potential, from disease modeling to stem cell-based therapies. However, the generation, screening and molecular characterization of these cell lines remain a cumbersome and multi-step endeavor. Here, we propose a pipeline of strategies to efficiently generate, sub-clone, and characterize CRISPR/Cas9-edited hPSC lines in the function of the introduced mutation (indels, point mutations, insertion of large constructs, deletions).
