Guide RNAs (gRNAs) recognizing chromosomes 1p and 19q sequences were designed using the CRISPick website (https://portals.broadinstitute.org/gppx/crispick/public). Two gRNAs for each chromosome arm were chemically synthesized (Synthego) (Supplementary Table S1). Nucleofection of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes consisting of gRNAs and Cas9 was performed as described with modifications.19 (link) In brief, 400 pmol of HiFi Cas9 (Integrated DNA Technologies) and 500 pmol sgRNA were mixed and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. 1 × 106 cells were washed with Opti-MEM (ThermoFisher Scientific) and resuspended in 100 μl Nucleofector Solution (Lonza), gently mixed with pre-assembled RNPs, and electroporated with appropriate programs using Nucleofector 2b or 4d (Lonza). The nucleofection program used for HEK 293T, LN-229, and U-251 cells was Q-001, X-009, and DS-138, respectively.
