Microhomology-assisted scarless genome editing in human iPSCs

Positive selection for gene targeting is a common and reliable method to generate isogenic disease models in human pluripotent stem cells. Here, the authors present engineered selection markers which achieve scarless excision by CRISPR-Cas9 and microhomology mediated end-joining.
