  • Patent number: 9932607
    Abstract: Methods for inserting a polynucleotide sequence into the genome of a human cell are provided. The present methods result in insertion of a polynucleotide sequence of interest into the H11 locus in the genome of a human cell. Also provided are nucleic acids that include sequences for integrating a polynucleotide sequence of interest into the H11 locus in the genome of a human cell. A transgenic human cell including site specific recombination sites at the H11 locus is also disclosed.
