Problems solved by technology

However, both methods are time-sensitive and cannot be used for long-term genetic research
[0005] At the end of the 20th century, scientists used gene homologous recombination technology to complete gene knockout and site-specific modification. Due to the extremely low efficiency of this method (Thomas et al., 1987), the research assistance to life science is limited to those with embryonic stem cells and body Species with mature nuclear transfer technology
[0009] Its disadvantages are: high requirements on homology arms, low efficiency, and cumbersome
However, the data in this article show that this modification has no information transmitted through the gonad and is limited to genes with high expression intensity
Insertion screening is not possible for weakly expressed genes or lncRNAs

Abstract

The invention provides a carrier incapable of generating frameshift mutation after recombination as well as a method and an application for gene fixe-point knock-in in a Xenopus laevis genome. The method comprises steps as follows: (1), guide RNA (ribonucleic acid), Cas9 nuclease and a donor carrier with a pancreas ela-fluorescent screening label and a Cas9 target fragment are contained in a fertilized egg of Xenopus laevis; (2) under the joint action of guide RNA and Cas9 nuclease, a target gene in the Xenopus laevis genome and the double-chain Cas9 target fragment on the donor carrier are shorn; (3), gene fixed-point knock-in of the Xenopus laevis genome is realized through a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) recovery function of Xenopus laevis cells; (4), G0-generation embryos are screened through the pancreas ela-fluorescent screening label, and F1 is subjected to southern blot identification. The carrier incapable of generating frameshift mutation after recombination as well as the method and the application for gene fixe-point knock-in in the Xenopus laevis genome lay a foundation for research of genetics and human diseases with Xenopus laevis as a model animal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, in particular to a carrier that does not produce frameshift mutations after recombination, a method for gene-directed knock-in in the Xenopus genome, and an application thereof. Background technique [0002] The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is a classic model animal for the study of early embryology. It has the advantages of large embryos and large egg production. The tropical clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis) has all the advantages of the African clawed frog. In addition, this species is small, has a short reproductive cycle (4-5 months), and is a diploid species, which is suitable for genetic research. [0003] The entire genome of the tropical clawed frog has been sequenced. Its genome has about 1.7 billion base pairs and contains 20,000 to 21,000 genes, of which about 1,700 genes are very similar to the corresponding genes of humans, and nearly 80% of all human genes Genes related ...
