Table 2. Indel mutation frequencies at on- and off-target genomic sites induced by different amounts of Cas9- and sgRNA-expressing plasmids for the RGEN targeted to VEGFA Target Site 2.

Amounts of sgRNA- and Cas9-expressing plasmids transfected into U2OS.EGFP cells for these assays are shown at the top of each column. (Note that data for 250 ng sgRNA/750 ng Cas9 are the same as those presented in Table 1.) Mean indel frequencies were determined using the T7EI assay from replicate samples as described in Online Methods.
