Abstract excerpt
The core miRNA biogenesis enzyme DICER1 sustains recurrent mutations in cancer that compromise its RNase IIIb domain, which cleaves 5p arms of precursor microRNA hairpins. However, the lack of knock-in models has limited fuller understanding. Here, we generated DICER1-knockout and DICER1S1344L (homozygous and hemizygous) human embryonic stem cells; the latter is a noncatalytic substitution in RNase IIIa that...
