Conventional nonhomologous end joining–based gene knockouts can lead to the production of C-terminally truncated proteins with potentially residual or dominant negative functions. Combining CRISPR/Cas9 with gene traps targeting the first intron (CRISPR-Trap), however, completely prevents the expression of the open reading frame, resulting in clean gene knockouts.
