Cells were transfected with the pX459 vector containing sgRNA target site sequences listed in
Supplementary Table 1. Thirty hour after transfection, medium containing 1.5 μg ml
−1 puromycin was added, and after a subsequent 48 h, cells were cultured in medium without selection until colonies had grown. Successful homozygous mutation was confirmed by PCR and sequencing using primers in
Supplementary Table 1 and, where possible by immunoblotting. Antibodies used were
anti-JARID2 (Novus Biologicals NB100-2214) at 1:1,000 dilution,
anti-SUZ12 (Cell Signalling 3737) at 1:1,000 dilution,
anti-EZH2 (Cell Signalling 5246) at 1:1,000 dilution,
anti-ATRX (a gift from R. Gibbons) at 1:10 dilution,
anti-EED (a gift of A. Otte) at 1:500 dilution. Controls used were
H2AK119u1 (NEB 8240) at 1:1,000 dilution,
anti-H3K27me3 (Diagenode pAb-069-050) at 1:1,000 dilution,
anti-H3 (Abcam ab1791) at 1:10,000 dilution and
anti-RING1B (a gift of H. Koseki) at 1:1,000 dilution.
