Modulation of a Stem Cell Gene: LGR4 Knockout in a Human Cell Line by CRISPR/Cas Method.

The modulation of gene expression is essential for the investigation of function or involved pathway of a single gene of interest, in particular in the developmental/stem cell biology. The temporary knock down of gene expression via siRNA is a well-established but with a residual expression connected modulation method. The chapter describes the complete knockout of a defined target and allows a comprehensive study of different gene like the stem cell gene LGR4 (Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 4) using the new developed CRISPR/Cas method (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats).
