CRISPR on chromatin: transfections
- gRNA21/Cas9, dox+
- gRNA22/Cas9, dox+
- gRNA27/Cas9, dox+
- gRNA21/Cas9, dox-
- gRNA22/Cas9, dox-
- gRNA27/Cas9, dox-
- On 8/05/14, cells were grown in 4 mL P/S-free medium to ~80% confluence in a 6-well plate, 3 with 1 μg/mL dox, 3 without dox
Luc-mCh swap: building the donor sequence
- Designed nested PCR primers to gradually build homology arms onto mCherry. The resulting donor should...
- Place mCherry in-frame upstream of the luciferase gene
- Add an ATG start codon onto mCherry (we had to use KAH154 as a template, where mCherry has no start)
- Add a double stop (TAATAG) onto the end of mCherry
- Add 130 bp of homology with TK-luciferase to each end

- Combined Blank 1 and Blank 3, ~22 ng/μL in 100 uL volume
Mismatch annealing
- Testing 2 methods
- IDT approach - mix the mutant PCR sample with a wild type reference sample to ensure heteroduplex formation
- Zhang Lab approach - do not mix with a wild type reference, since ~50% or more of the amplicons in the mutated cell sample will be wild type anyway
- 200 ng clean PCR, 1x HF Phusion buffer, in final volume of 15 μL
- 100 ng CRISPR "1" + 100 ng Blank (IDT approach)
- 200 ng CRISPR "1" (Zhang approach)
- 200 ng Blank (wild type control)
