Generation of Rybp homozygous knockout murine ES cell line GIBHe001-A-1 by using CRISPR/Cas9 technology

RYBP (Ring1 and YY1 Binding Protein) is critical for pluripotency and differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). RYBP depletion disturbs both neural and myocardial differentiation of ESCs. Moreover, low level of RYBP is correlated with diseases such as glioblastoma. To study the biological function of RYBP in neural differentiation of ESCs, here we generated Rybp homozygous knockout murine ESC line based on Sox1-GFP reporter using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology. The last two exons of Rybp gene in which contain 115 amino acids have been replaced with PGK-Pruo by homologous recombination.
