Gene Editing Using Electric Pulse Delivery of Cas9 Protein and Modified Guide RNAs

Updated

Abstract

Electroporation-based delivery of Cas9 protein achieves high efficiency in difficult-to-transfect human cancer cell lines and primary cells.

  • CRISPR/Cas9 is a widely used tool for genome editing in many human cancer cell lines.
  • Gene editing remains challenging in certain hard-to-transfect cell lines and primary cells.
  • An electroporation-based method has been developed to improve the delivery of Cas9 protein.
  • This method utilizes chemically modified sgRNAs for enhanced performance.
  • The protocol demonstrates significant efficiency across various cell lines and primary cells.
