macsGESTALT Library
(Pooled Library #178943)

  • Purpose

    This piggyBac barcoding library is a component of the macsGESTALT inducible lineage recording system. The plasmid contains both a static barcode (which is a random 10-mer ‘library’ here) and an evolving barcode (which is edited by CRISPR/Cas9 components delivered by other plasmids).

    A companion plasmid, pUltra-U6-gRNAs1-5 (Addgene #178569, ordered separately), includes a gRNA-tRNA array for macsGESTALT editing.

  • Vector Backbone

    PB-CMV-MCS-EF1a-Puro - does not express Cas9
