Genome Engineering

The Genome Engineering Shared Resource (GESR) is dedicated to providing (at cost) state-of-the-art genome editing services for human cell lines. The GESR will initially have the capacity to make standard knockouts and knockins for your favorite gene in your favorite cell line. Ultimately GESR will provide services for making conditional alleles and epitope tagging endogenous genes, as well as carrying out whole genome knockout screens.

The goal of GESR is to utilize state-of-the-art CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene targeting to efficiently generate desired modifications in mammalian cells in a timely manner in order to accelerate the individual researchers intellectual pursuit. 

New clients should get in touch with the GESR team by emailing [email protected].
