We characterized the human β-like globin transgenes in two mouse models of sickle cell disease (SCD) and tested a genome-editing strategy to induce red blood cell fetal hemoglobin (HbF; α2γ2). Berkeley SCD mice contain four to 22 randomly arranged, fragmented copies of three human transgenes (HBA1,...
