Fuente: WIPO "tomato" Provided herein are compositions and methods for real-time identification and isolation of base-edited cell populations. Also provided herein are methods for producing enriched isogenic lines of genetically modified cells, including base-edited human pluripotent stem cells. In particular, provided herein are methods utilizing transient expression of reporter proteins, the detectable signal of which is altered following base editing. Using the transient reporter with a base editor permits enrichment of isogenic populations of base-edited cells.
