Whole genome sequencing of colon organoid cultures with artificially induced oncogenic mutations

Using the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system, various oncogenic mutations were introduced in the genome of normal adult stem cells derived from the colon. The resulting clonal cultures were subjected to whole genome sequencing. In addition, the cultures were transplanted in a mouse and the resulting primary and metastatic tumors were also subjected to whole genome sequencing. The initial bulk culture, which was used to generate the mutations, was also whole genome sequenced and served as a reference sample to filter germline variants.
