complicates silencing of a single lncRNA. Morrbid promoter deletion was achieved using 2
single guide RNAs targeting the 5′ and 3′ flanking region of its promoter. Single guide
RNAs were cloned into Cas9 vector containing either a GFP (green fluorescent protein) or
mCherry selection marker, which were subsequently used for sorting of double-positive cells
(Online Figure IC). 2 The primary challenge that remains is the rather low efficiency of
homozygote knockout clones, although deletion frequency is inversely related to deletion …
