Epigenetic silencing directs expression heterogeneity of stably integrated multi-transcript unit genetic circuits

Abstract We report that epigenetic silencing causes the loss of function of multi-transcript unit constructs that are integrated using CRISPR-Cas9. Using a modular two color reporter system flanked by selection markers, we demonstrate that expression heterogeneity does not correlate with sequence al...
