A simple and efficient CRISPR technique for protein tagging
2019
Genetic knock-in using homology directed repair is an inefficient process, requiring selection of few modified cells and hindering its application to primary cells. Here we describe Homology independent gene Tagging (HiTag), a method to tag a protein of interest by CRISPR in up to 66% transfected cells with one single electroporation. The technique has proven effective in various cell types, can be used to knock in a fluorescent protein for live cell imaging, to modify the cellular location of a target protein and to monitor levels of a protein of interest by a luciferase assay in primary cells.
