Optimising CRIPSR gene editing of hard-to-transfect cells

Drug Target Review

Starting from a single cell rather than bulk cells eliminates the need for post-transfection cell sorting, saving hands-on time and ensuring 100 percent monoclonality. This holds particular significance, as it is a prerequisite for FDA approval in biotechnology that any cell clones must originate from a single-cell progenitor.
