Fast-Track and Integration-Free Method of Genome Editing by CRISPR/Cas9 in Murine Pluripotent Stem Cells.

ABSTRACT: The CRISPR/Cas9 system has unprecedentedly revolutionized genome-editing technology, which is being successfully applied virtually in all branches of biological sciences. Although much success has been attained in gene manipulation, still the majority of methods are laborious and non-integration-free, and require prolonged time for the expansion of mutant cell pools/clones, while fewer cells exhibit functional knockout efficiency. To overcome these obstacles, here, we describe an efficient, inexpensive, integration-free, and rapid one-step protocol for CRISPR/Cas9-assisted gene knockout in murine pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). Our protocol has streamlined both the liposome-based transfection system and screening strategy to work more efficiently with small numbers of PSCs (∼2.0 × 10^4<
