Popis: Summary: The in vitro recapitulation of chromosomal rearrangements is a necessary tool for understanding malignancy at the molecular level. Here, we describe the targeted induction of a large chromosomal inversion (>3.7 Mbp) through CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing. As inversions occur at low frequency following Cas9 cleavage, we provide a detailed screening approach of FACS-sorted, single-cell-derived clonal human bronchial epithelial cell (HBEC) cultures. The protocol provided is tailored to HBECs; however, it can be readily applied to additional adherent cellular models.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zampetidis et al. (2021).
