Efficient isolation of mouse deletion mutant embryonic stem cells by CRISPR

Summary: Gene functions can be assessed in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and in mutant mice derived from mutant ES cells. Here, we describe an approach for efficient isolation of the ES clones carrying deletion mutations at the target genes by CRISPR-Cas9. Two sgRNAs against a target gene are co-e...

description Summary: Gene functions can be assessed in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and in mutant mice derived from mutant ES cells. Here, we describe an approach for efficient isolation of the ES clones carrying deletion mutations at the target genes by CRISPR-Cas9. Two sgRNAs against a target gene are co-expressed with puromycin-resistant gene in ES cells through co-transfection followed by transient puromycin selection. Deletion mutations are identified by PCR from individual ES clones that are picked from puromycin-selected ES cells. : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
