	There is no need to perform a negative control golden-gate reaction (without insert) as it will always contain colonies so not a good indicator of cloning success.

CRISPR knockouts
Candidate target sequences for CRISPR were designed using ZiFiT Targeter Version 4.2 (http://zifit.partners.org/ZiFiT/). The sequences of guide RNA were placed in pENTR221-U6-gRNA by inverse PCR, as previously described29. hCas9 was purchased from addgene (Plasmid #41815). hCas9 was PCR amplified and transferred to pENTE221 by standard BP Clonase reaction (Invitrogen), following manufacturers protocol. hCas9 was then transferred to PB-TRE-DEST-EF1A-rtTA-RES-Puro29 by standard LR Clonase reaction (Invitrogen), following manufacturers protocol, to generate PB-TRE-Cas9-EF1A-rtTA-IRES-Puro. The Gateway DEST cassette was then PCR amplified with NheI site engineered into the primers and cloned into a unique NheI site upstream of the TRE promoter to generate PB-DEST-TRE-Cas9-EF1A-rtTA-IRES-Puro. The guide RNAs were then transferred to PB-DEST-TRE-Cas9-EF1A-rtTA-IRES-Puro via standard LR Clonase reaction (Invitrogen), following manufacturers protocol. Two micrograms of each PB-U6-gRNA-TRE-Cas9-EF1A-rtTA-IRES-Puro and Super piggyBac transposase (System Biosciences) were transfected to B117P by NEON® Transfection System (Life Technologies Corporation, Carlsbad, CA) using 1,400 volts and 20 milliseconds for 2 pulses. Two days later transfected cells were selected with 1.5 μg/ml puromycin and 1.0 μg/ml of doxycycline for more than 3 weeks to generate stable knockout cell lines. DNA was collected using standard Phenol:Chloroform extraction. A CEL-I assay was performed (Supplementary Figure S5) and the gene modification ratio calculated, as previously described30.
