Abstract:
CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing is an efficient technique to modify specific sites/regions of DNA. Delivery of the Cas9 by mRNA is particularly promising in pre-clinical genome editing applications for its transient, nonintegrating feature. However, the off-target of Cas9-gRNA still remains a concern and needs a specific monitor. Here, we present a revised protocol to edit fibroblasts by in vitro transcribed Cas9 mRNA and profile its off-target effect by the optimized GUIDE-seq method. This protocol can also be applied to other cell lines. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ganna Reint et al. (2021).1.
