“…The EGFP PTC-231 and EGFP PTC-35 constructs were then placed under the control of a strong constitutive promoter and integrated into the AAVS1 locus, a region of open chromatin that allows high-level transgene expression ( Hockemeyer et al, 2009 ; Lamartina et al, 2000 ), in HCT116 cells, a stably diploid human cell line amenable to pooled CRISPR screening ( Golden et al, 2017 ; Manjunath et al, 2019 ). As expected, EGFP PTC-231 cells exhibited approximately 10-fold lower GFP fluorescence compared with EGFP PTC-35 cells ( Figure 1C ).…”
