Rockefeller Cancer Institute, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Chick embryos are used for studying human glioblastoma (GBM) brain tumors in ovo and in ex vivo brain slice co-cultures. GBM cell behavior can be recorded by time-lapse microscopy in ex vivo co-cultures, and both preparations can be analyzed at the experimental endpoint by detailed 3D confocal analysis. Genetics A Standard Methodology to Examine On-site Mutagenicity As a Function of Point Mutation Repair Catalyzed by CRISPR/Cas9 and SsODN in Human Cells Natalia Rivera-Torres1,2, Eric B. Kmiec1,2 1Gene Editing Institute, Helen F. Graham Cancer Center and Research Institute, Christiana Care Health Services, 2Department of Medical Sciences, University of Delaware This protocol outlines the workflow of a CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing system for the repair of point mutations in mammalian cells. Here, we use a combinatorial approach to gene editing with a detailed follow-on experimental strategy for measuring indel formation at the target site—in essence, analyzing onsite mutagenesis.
