PCR products are obtained from each target loci using genomic DNA from nuclease-treated iPS cells. Subsequently, PCR products are pooled and subjected to Illumina library preparation and Miseq sequencing. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) and TAL-effector nucleases (TALENs) are becoming more general tools for genome modification in mammalian cells, expecially in human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and embryonic stem (ES) cells. The efficiencies of double-strand break (DSB) introduction by these neculeases are key for the successful engineering of the iPS/ES cell genome. To use custom ZFNs/TALENs, we need to measure "cutting" efficiency by a precise method, which can be adapted in a high-throughput manner. In this study, we explore the possibility of MiSeq sequencing for the "cutting" efficinecy measurement. We expect that one run of MiSeq should be albe to analyze efficinecy of more than 100 necleases
