New cell lines and plasmids
Three new cell lines are available in the Allen Cell Collection: two single edited, nuclear lines in which DNA replication foci (with mEGFP-tagged PCNA) or CTCF-binding sites (via mEGFP-tagged CTCF) are visualized; and one dual edited cell line labeling mitochondria (via mEGFP-tagged Tom20) and microtubules (via mTagRFP-T-tagged alpha-tubulin). Donor plasmids for all lines are also available from Addgene.
