Highly efficient targeted mutagenesis in mice using TALENs.
Targeted mouse mutants are instrumental for the analysis of gene function in health and disease. We recently provided proof-of-principle for the fast-track mutagenesis of the mouse genome, using transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) in one-cell embryos. Here we report a routine procedure for the efficient production of disease-related knockin and knockout mutants, using impro...
متن کاملConditional somatic mutagenesis in the mouse using site-specific recombinases.
In the last decade, site-specific recombinases (SSRs), such as Cre and Flp, have emerged as indispensable tools for the precise in vivo manipulation of the mouse genome. It is now feasible to control, in space and time, the onset of gene knockouts in almost any tissue of the mouse, thus greatly facilitating the creation of sophisticated animal models for human disease and drug development. This...
متن کاملHighly Efficient Site-Specific Mutagenesis in Malaria Mosquitoes Using CRISPR.
Anopheles mosquitoes transmit at least 200 million annual malaria infections worldwide. Despite considerable genomic resources, mechanistic understanding of biological processes in Anopheles has been hampered by a lack of tools for reverse genetics. Here, we report successful application of the CRISPR/Cas9 system for highly efficient, site-specific mutagenesis in the diverse malaria vectors Ano...
متن کاملConditional mutagenesis using site-specific recombination in Plasmodium berghei.
Reverse genetics in Plasmodium, the genus of parasites that cause malaria, still faces major limitations. Only red blood cell stages of this haploid parasite can be transfected. Consequently, the function of many essential genes in these and subsequent stages, including those encoding vaccine candidates, cannot be addressed genetically. Here, we establish conditional mutagenesis in Plasmodium b...
متن کاملSaturation mutagenesis using maize transposons.
Transposon mutagenesis facilitates gene discovery by tagging genes for cloning. New genomics projects are now cataloging transposon insertion sites to define all maize genes. Once identified, transposon insertions are 'hot spots' for generating new alleles that are useful in functional studies.
