摘要:
Methods and compositions are provided for generating targeted genetic modifications on the Y chromosome or a challenging target locus. Compositions include an in vitro culture comprising an XY pluripotent and/or totipotent animal cell (i.e., XY ES cells or XY iPS cells) having a modification that decreases the level and/or activity of an Sry protein; and, culturing these cells in a medium that promotes development of XY F0 fertile females. Such compositions find use in various methods for making a fertile female XY non-human mammal in an F0 generation.
摘要:
Compositions and methods are provided for creating and promoting biallelic targeted modifications to genomes within cells and for producing non-human animals comprising the modified genomes. Also provided are compositions and methods for modifying a genome within a cell that is heterozygous for an allele to become homozygous for that allele. The methods make use of Cas proteins and two or more guide RNAs that target different locations within the same genomic target locus. Also provided are methods of identifying cells with modified genomes.

摘要:
Methods and compositions are provided for modifying one or more target loci in a cell. Such methods comprise providing a cell comprising a first polynucleotide encoding a first selection marker operably linked to a first promoter active in the cell, wherein the first polynucleotide further comprises a first recognition site for a first nuclease agent. A first nuclease agent is introduced into a cell, wherein the first nuclease agent induces a nick or double-strand break at the first recognition site. Further introduced into the cell is a first targeting vector comprising a first insert polynucleotide flanked by a first and a second homology arm that correspond to a first and a second target site located in sufficient proximity to the first recognition site. At least one cell is then identified comprising in its genome the first insert polynucleotide integrated at the target locus.
