Identifying regulators of parental imprinting by CRISPR/Cas9 screening in haploid human embryonic stem cells

Genetic imprinting ensures monoallelic gene expression critical for normal embryonic development. Here the authors take advantage of human haploid parthenogenic embryonic stem cells lacking paternal alleles to identify, by genome-wide screening, factors involved in the regulation of imprinted genes.
