Abstract excerpt
In this chapter, we present an experimental protocol to conduct DNA methylation editing experiments, that is, to induce loss or gain of DNA methylation, targeting Dlk1-Dio3 imprinted domain, a well-studied imprinted locus, in ES cells. In this protocol, plasmid vectors expressing the DNA methylation editing tools, combining the CRISPR/dCas9 system and the SunTag system coupled to a DNA methyltransferase or a TET...
