Abstract

The relatively recent discovery of CRISPR/Cas has led to a revolution in our ability to efficiently manipulate the genome of eukaryotic cells. We describe here a protocol that employs CRISPR technology to precisely knock-in a PET imaging reporter transgene into a specific genetic locus of interest. Resulting transcription of the targeted reporter will more accurately mimic physiologic expression of the endogenous allele than conventional approaches, and so this method has the potential to become an efficient way to generate a new generation of "gold-standard" reporter transgenes. We break down the protocol into three experimental stages: how to identify the genomic location that the reporter transgene will be inserted, how to practically insert the reporter transgene into the genome, and how to screen resultant clones for the correct targeted event.
