Knock-out of fancd2 (Cre10.g453650) in CC-1883, resulting in deficiency of Fanconi anaemia (FA) DNA repair. One of three fancd2 lines deposited (CC-5707, CC-5708, CC-5709).

Knock-out generated using CRISPR/Cas12a and the 1.8 kb aphVIII antibiotic selection marker to disrupt the gene of interest, resulting in paromomycin resistance (paroR).

FA deficiency was confirmed by hypersensitivity to the DNA-damaging agent mitomycin C, and the knock-out locus was sequence-verified (see Ferenczi et al. 2021, Supplementary Fig. 9). No off-target analysis was performed; may contain off-target edits and aphVIII integrations.

For the Cas12a gRNA target sequence and PCR conditions (incl. primers), see Ferenczi et al. 2021, Supplementary Data 7 and 9, respectively. Up to 10% DMSO may be added to the PCR to help amplify long GC-rich amplicons, in which case lower annealing temperatures by 3–5°C.

Deposited as part of 21 lines containing eight different DNA repair mutant genotypes (CC-5701 to CC-5721). For full list, see Ferenczi et al. 2021, Supplementary Data 10.
