Problems solved by technology

Double-strand breaks are necessary for homologous recombination to obtain genetic mutations. Of course, this also stimulates another, more common endogenous DNA repair pathway - non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), which will be precise and seamless. Genetic Modification Creates Barriers
Synthetic ssODNs can be conveniently ordered from companies, but it lacks a screening system, making precise and seamless gene modification quite inefficient
The piggyBac transposon may be relatively troublesome to construct a plasmid, but it can carry a screening system, and it is relatively easier to obtain the desired seamless heterozygous mutation
Of course, for homozygous mutations, the efficiency of using CRISPR / Cas9 combined with piggyBac is very low, resulting in a huge waste of manpower, material resources and time

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for obtaining homozygous mutation of seamless modification. The method comprises the following steps: (1) cutting a locus needing mutation in a cell genome to generate double-chain breaking by using a gene editing system; (2) respectively integrating two kinds of transposons, which contain a target mutation sequence and different resistance, to enter a pair of alleles of the cell genome through homologous recombination; (3) screening a cell clone of the alleles which integrate the transposons, and then cutting off the transposons; and (4) causing death to thecell clone in which the transposons are residually left to obtain the cell clone which contains the homozygous mutation of the seamless modification. The method can be used for obviously improving theprobability of obtaining the homozygous mutation, manpower, material resources and time are saved, and the application range is wide.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, and in particular relates to a method for obtaining seamlessly modified homozygous mutations. Background technique [0002] Compared with animal models, cell models derived from human iPS have a series of advantages, such as being able to be purified into a specific cell type for research, facilitating high-throughput screening of compounds and gene targets, and obtaining a variety of gene mutations Cells and use it to study cell phenotypes and pathogenic mechanisms, and there is no species difference with humans. Cells from patients are reprogrammed to obtain iPS, which can be used to study many genetic diseases. Of course, the acquisition of patient cells, the confirmation of pathogenic mutation genes, and the common analysis of cells with different genetic backgrounds all pose obstacles to the study of genetic diseases. However, these obstacles can be resolved by introducing disease-related ...
