CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing services

As part of our extensive experience in creating customized stable cell lines, we also use CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to develop your specific cell models. Work is covered by a set of license agreements assuring freedom to operate (FTO).

 

Our range of services includes

  • The generation of target-defective / knockout cell lines,
  • The introduction of larger genomic deletions in a cell line of choice,
  • The generation of mutant cell clones bearing hemi- or homozygous point-/missense mutations introduced by homology-directed-repair (HDR),
  • The generation of (reporter-) cell lines endogenously expressing fusion proteins after HDR-mediated genome editing, 
  • Generation of synthetic human iPSC disease models,
  • CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing of primary T cells.

 

Beyond the generation of custom cell lines, CRISPR/Cas9 technology is also integrated into our target validation workflows, serving a role analogous to RNAi-mediated gene silencing.
