DNA Damage Response and Mutagenesis in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

Mutation in embryonic stem (ES) cells can potentially compromise multiple cell lineages and affect the well-being of subsequent generations. Thus, ES cells require sensitive mechanisms to maintain genomic integrity. One mechanism involves suppression of mutation. A complementary mechanism is to regulate the cell cycle checkpoint and facilitate cell death. Here, we describe the detailed protocols we have used to investigate DNA damage response and mutagenesis in mouse ES cells.
