Importance of Knockin Cell Lines
Knockin cell lines, which involve inserting a specific fragment at a designated locus within the genome, serve as crucial tools for research. By inserting a reporter gene or tag at a specific locus, researchers can study the endogenous expression levels of target genes. The CRISPR/Cas9 system simplifies the creation of custom knockin cell lines by utilizing the Cas9 nuclease, which targets specific genomic loci through sgRNA, inducing double-strand breaks. These breaks can be repaired via the HDR (homology-directed repair) pathway when a template is present, allowing for the insertion of promoters, tags, or complete genes into the genome.

Types of Knockin Cell Lines
Conventional Knock-in Cell Line:
Here, a reporter gene is inserted at a specific site and driven by an endogenous promoter, which reflects the expression of the targeted gene.
Conditional Knock-in Cell Line:
This involves using an inducible knockin cassette, commonly with a Cre/loxP system, allowing the inserted gene to be activated in the presence of Cre recombinase.
Workflow
The generation of knockin cell lines follows a systematic workflow, ensuring meticulous execution of all essential steps.
