[0003] The ability to introduce small mutations (indels) at targeted sites in the genome of cells by electroporating a Cas9-gRNA complex (RNP) into the cells has been developed. However, since these mutations are random and introduced by non-homologous end joining, they can cause a protein to be knocked out of frame (Schumann et al. PNAS 112(33): 10437-10442 (2015)).
