Homology directed repair (HDR) is a mechanism in cells to repair double-strand DNA lesions. The most common form of HDR is homologous recombination. The HDR mechanism can only be used by the cell when there is a homologous piece of DNA present in the nucleus, mostly in G2 and S phase of the cell cycle. Other examples of homology-directed repair include single-strand annealing and breakage-induced replication. When the homologous DNA is absent, another process called non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) takes place instead.
The invention relates to a method to determine a homology directed repair (HDR) event within a eukaryotic cell, wherein the cell expresses a first isoform of a surface protein, which is different from a second isoform of said surface protein with regard to an amino acid marker. The method comprises the steps of inducing a DNAdouble strand break, providing a HDR template DNA construct comprising the amino acid marker corresponding to the second isoform of the surface protein and subsequently determining the expression of the first or second isoform of said surface protein on said cell, wherein expression of the second isoform indicates a successful HDR event. The invention also relates to a method for editing a genomic location of interest within a eukaryotic cell, and to a method of selectively depleting or enriching an edited cell in a composition of non-edited and edited cells.
