et al. 2014; Xiao et al. 2013; Park et al. 2016). In the context of more defined changes to the DNA such as introduction of SNPs, HDR pathways can be utilised by providing an excess of a desired sequence, resulting in this being used in preference to the sister chromatid as the template for repair. Introduction of mutations can be highly efficient, especially for NHEJ-based pathways, which generally predominate in most cells including human iPSCs, and can approach 80–90% in the best examples.
