The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system is an efficient method for the production of gene-edited animals. We have successfully generated gene-modified goats and sheep via zygote injection of Cas9 mRNA and single-guide RNA (sgRNA) mixtures. However, the delivery system for microinjection largely refers to methods established for mice; optimised injection conditions are urgently required for the generation of large animals. Here, we designed a study to…

Rational design of highly active sgRNAs for CRISPR-Cas9–mediated gene inactivation
TLDR
An online tool for the design of highly active sgRNAs for any gene of interest is provided, including a further optimization of the protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM) of Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9.
Optimization of the production of knock-in alleles by CRISPR/Cas9 microinjection into the mouse zygote
TLDR
It was found that knock-in efficiency was dependent on injected Cas9 mRNA and single-guide RNA concentrations and that cytoplasmic injection resulted in more genotypic complexity compared to pronuclear injection and that injection into the pronucleus compared to the cy toplasm is preferable to generate knock- in alleles with an oligonucleotide or a circular plasmid.
Single Cas9 nickase induced generation of NRAMP1 knockin cattle with reduced off-target effects
TLDR
It is demonstrated that a single Cas9n-induced single-strand break can stimulate the insertion of the natural resistance-associated macrophage protein-1 (NRAMP1) gene with reduced, but still considerable, off-target effects.
Generation of gene-modified goats targeting MSTN and FGF5 via zygote injection of CRISPR/Cas9 system
TLDR
The results showed that simultaneous editing of several sites was achieved in large animals, demonstrating that the CRISPR/Cas9 system has the potential to become a robust and efficient gene engineering tool in farm animals, and therefore will be critically important and applicable for breeding.
A single blastocyst assay optimized for detecting CRISPR/Cas9 system-induced indel mutations in mice
TLDR
The single blastocyst-based assay was useful for determining whether CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing worked in murine embryos, and was more effective than Surveyor nuclease for detecting mutations in annealed fragments derived from 2 plasmids, which contained nearly identical sequences.
Efficient Generation of Myostatin Knock-Out Sheep Using CRISPR/Cas9 Technology and Microinjection into Zygotes
TLDR
The results demonstrate that CRISPR/Cas9 system was a very efficient tool to generate gene KO sheep and can be applied to obtain genetically modified animal models of interest for biomedicine and livestock.
Efficient gene targeting in mouse zygotes mediated by CRISPR/Cas9-protein
TLDR
It is found that Cas9 nucleo-protein complex promotes highly efficient, multiplexed targeting of circular constructs containing reporter genes and floxed exons, which allows for a one-step zygote injection procedure targeting multiple genes to generate conditional alleles via homologous recombination.
Multiplex gene editing via CRISPR/Cas9 exhibits desirable muscle hypertrophy without detectable off-target effects in sheep
TLDR
The findings suggested that the CRISPR/Cas9 method can be exploited as a powerful tool for livestock improvement by simultaneously targeting multiple genes that are responsible for economically significant traits.
Homology-directed repair in rodent zygotes using Cas9 and TALEN engineered proteins
TLDR
The results indicate that the use of Cas9 protein could represent a simple and practical methodological alternative to Cas9 mRNA in the generation of genetically-modified rats and mice as well as probably some other mammals.
