Here, the scientists describe the application of an inducible, RNA-guided, nuclease-deficient Cas9-KRAB system to silence target gene expression in human embryonic stem cells, via KRAB repression at the promoter region. This chapter outlines a detailed protocol for generation of a stable human embryonic stem cell line containing both Sp-dCas9-KRAB and sgRNA, followed by inducible expression of Sp-dCas9-KRAB to analyze functional effects of dCas9-KRAB at target loci in human embryonic stem cells.
