Haploid cells are useful for studying gene functions because disruption of a
single allele can cause loss-of-function phenotypes. Recent success in generating
haploid embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in mice, rats, and monkeys provides a new
platform for simple genetic manipulation of the mammalian genome. Use of haploid
ESCs enhances the genome-editing potential of the CRISPR/Cas system. For example,
CRISPR/Cas was used in haploid ESCs to generate multiple knockouts and large
deletions at high efficiency. In addition, genome-wide screening is facilitated
by haploid cell lines containing gene knockout libraries.
