CRISPR/Cas9 genome editingHuman iPSCs were edited using the pSpCas9(BB)-2A-GFP (PX458) construct backbone (Addgene #48138) described in Ran et al 201382. For WT correction of S305 mutation lines, specific guide RNAs (gRNAs) were designed against the mutant allele using the Zhang lab design tool (crispr.mit.edu), and guides with the highest quality scores and more than 3bp mismatches with other genomic loci were selected.

New Results doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.06.02.543224 AbstractDue to the importance of 4R tau in the pathogenicity of primary tauopathies, it has been challenging to model these diseases in iPSC-derived neurons, which express very low levels of 4R tau. To address this problem we have developed a panel of isogenic iPSC lines carrying the MAPT splice-site mutations S305S, S305I or S305N, derived from four different donors.
