Summary: | Genome editing in induced pluripotent stem cells is currently hampered by the laborious and expensive nature of identifying homology-directed repair (HDR)-modified cells. We present an approach where isolation of cells bearing a selectable, HDR-mediated editing event at one locus enriches for HDR-mediated edits at additional loci. This strategy, called co-targeting with selection, improves the probability of isolating cells bearing HDR-mediated variants and accelerates the production of disease models.

The potential of CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing in iPSCs is currently hampered by the laborious nature of identifying cells modified by the lesser-used homology-directed repair (HDR) pathway. Geurts, McDermott-Roe, and colleagues present a straightforward approach, co-targeting with selection, based on co-modification that enriches for cells undergoing HDR thereby improving targeting efficiencies. |
