Gene targeting (GT) is a precise genome editing tool to achieve desired modification of a target gene, e.g., introduction of point mutations, knock-in of a reporter gene, or swapping of a functional domain, through homologous recombination. However, due to its low frequency, it has proved difficult to establish a universal GT system. The availability of the CRISPR/Cas9 system for genome editing in plants has opened up possibilities to apply GT successfully to some plant species. Here, we provide protocols for CRISPR/Cas9-mediated DNA double-strand break (DSB)-induced GT in rice.

摘要

Gene targeting (GT) is a precise genome editing tool to achieve desired modification of a target gene, e.g., introduction of point mutations, knock-in of a reporter gene, or swapping of a functional domain, through homologous recombination. However, due to its low frequency, it has proved difficult to establish a universal GT system. The availability of the CRISPR/Cas9 system for genome editing in plants has opened up possibilities to apply GT successfully to some plant species. Here, we provide protocols for CRISPR/Cas9-mediated DNA double-strand break (DSB)-induced GT in rice.
