We have generated a MIXL1-eGFP reporter human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line using TALEN-based genome engineering. This line accurately traces endogenous MIXL1 expression via an eGFP reporter to mesendodermal precursor cells. The utility of the MIXL1-eGFP reporter hESC line lies in the prospective isolation, lineage tracing, and developmental and mechanistic studies of MIXL1+ cell populations.
