Generation of a homozygous ALX1 knockout human embryonic stem cell line (WAe001-A-060) by a CRISPR/Cas9 system
Summary
Human ALX1 gene (ALX Homeobox 1) is a protein coding gene and gene ontology annotations related to this gene include DNA-binding transcription factor activity and protein heterdimerization activity. It is necessary for survival of forebrain mesenchyme and may be involved in development of cervix. However, the function of the gene has yet to be determined in humans. Here we generated an ALX1 homozygous human embryonic stem cell line (WAe001-A-060) by a CRISPR/Cas9 system. The WAe001-A-060 has a normal undifferentiated morphology and karyotype, pluripotency and three germ layers differentiation potential in vivo. Copyright © 2021. Published by Elsevier B.V.
