Heritable and Precise Zebrafish Genome Editing Using a CRISPR-Cas System
We have previously reported a simple and customizable CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) RNA-guided Cas9 nuclease (RGN) system that can be used to efficiently and robustly introduce somatic indel mutations in endogenous zebrafish genes. Here we demonstrate that RGN-induced mutations are heritable, with efficiencies of germline transmission reaching as high as 100...
متن کاملHeritable genome editing with CRISPR/Cas9 induces anosmia in a crop pest moth
Lepidoptera suffer critical lack of genetic tools and heritable genome edition has been achieved only in a few model species. Here we demonstrate that the CRISPR/Cas9 system is highly efficient for genome editing in a non-model crop pest Lepidoptera, the noctuid moth Spodoptera littoralis. We knocked-out the olfactory receptor co-receptor Orco gene to investigate its function in Lepidoptera olf...
متن کاملSpecific and heritable gene editing in Arabidopsis.
Targeted gene editing could offer tremendous advantages over traditional plant breeding to create new cultivars with advantageous combinations of alleles, especially when stacking of important traits is needed for crop improvement. Traditional methods of combining desirable alleles of different genes involve time-consuming crosses and selections, and in some cases such as combining closely link...
متن کاملGenome editing in human stem cells.
The use of custom-engineered sequence-specific nucleases (including CRISPR/Cas9, ZFN, and TALEN) allows genetic changes in human cells to be easily made with much greater efficiency and precision than before. Engineered double-stranded DNA breaks can efficiently disrupt genes, or, with the right donor vector, engineer point mutations and gene insertions. However, a number of design consideratio...
متن کاملRNA-programmed genome editing in human cells
Type II CRISPR immune systems in bacteria use a dual RNA-guided DNA endonuclease, Cas9, to cleave foreign DNA at specific sites. We show here that Cas9 assembles with hybrid guide RNAs in human cells and can induce the formation of double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) at a site complementary to the guide RNA sequence in genomic DNA. This cleavage activity requires both Cas9 and the complementary bin...
