MNX1 encodes a homeobox transcription factor with conserved embryonic requirements in spinal motor neuron formation and pancreatic beta-cell differentiation. Mutations in MNX1 are associated with dominantly inherited Currarino syndrome and neonatal diabetes. To better understand embryonic MNX1 functions we generated an hiPSC-1 knock-in line heterozygously expressing MNX1 C-terminally tagged with 2xTY1 together with a T2A-separated red fluorescent reporter mScarlet.
