pU6-(BbsI)_CBh-Cas9-T2A-mCherry
(Plasmid #64324)

• Purpose: Expression vector for sgRNAs cloned into the BbsI sites and for expression of Cas9 linked to mCherry via a T2A peptide
• Depositing Lab: Ralf Kuehn
• Publication: Chu et al Nat Biotechnol. 2015 Mar 24. doi: 10.1038/nbt.3198.

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pX330
• Backbone manufacturer: Zhang lab (Addgene plasmid # 42230)
• Modifications to backbone: The T2A-mCherry fragment was cloned into FseI & EcoRI sites of pX330 (Addgene plasmid # 42230). The mCherry template was derived from MSCV-IRES-mCherry, a kind gift of Frank Rosenbauer and Martin Janz (Charite, Berlin)
