STAR protocols

Method for precise large DNA segment editing to create identical human stem cells using CRISPR-Cas9

Updated

Abstract

A two-stage protocol for genome engineering in human induced pluripotent stem cells achieves improved editing efficiency and screening throughput.

  • The protocol utilizes CRISPR-Cas9 for generating homozygous, multi-kilobase isogenic haplotypes.
  • Challenges with low efficiency of homology-directed repair (HDR) and difficulties in generating HDR templates are addressed.
  • The optimization leads to a reduction in turnaround time for genome editing.
  • Steps include in silico experimental design, large haplotype deletion, and reconstruction.
  • Validation of edited cell lines is part of the protocol.
