Rapid clonal identification of biallelic CRISPR/Cas9 knock-ins using SNEAK PEEC

One of the challenges faced by current CRISPR/Cas9 editing strategies is the difficulty in rapidly selecting clonal populations of biallelically edited cells. Here we present Surface engiNeered fluorEscence Assisted Kit with Protein Epitope Enhanced Capture (SNEAK PEEC), a platform that combines human genome editing with cell-surface display, which enables the direct identification of biallelically edited clones with minimal screening.
