Abstract

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that express stable and robust fluorescent proteins have proven to be indispensable in basic and translational research. These reporter iPSC lines can greatly facilitate cell imaging, sorting, and tracking in vitro and in vivo studies. Here, we document two reporter human iPSC lines generated by gene-editing technologies that precisely integrated one-copy of a tdTomato transgene driven by strong CAG promoter into the AAVS1 human safe harbor locus.
