CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing01:28

CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing

3.2K
The CRISPR-Cas system serves as a bacterial defense mechanism against invading genetic elements such as viruses and plasmids, forming the foundation for its adaptation as a powerful genome-editing tool. Originally discovered in prokaryotes, this system has been repurposed to revolutionize genetic engineering across a wide range of organisms, including plants, animals, and humans. The core component, Cas9, is an endonuclease derived from Streptococcus pyogenes, capable of introducing...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

5.7K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) are powerful tools for precise genomic editing.
  • Current TALEN methods face limitations due to uncertain transfection efficiency, particularly in difficult-to-transfect cells.
  • This bottleneck reduces the overall success rate of genome editing in cell cultures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a more robust and efficient TALEN system for genomic editing.
  • To overcome the limitations of low transfection efficiency in hard-to-transfect cells.
  • To enable streamlined isolation of successfully edited cells.

Main Methods:

  • Engineered TALEN plasmids to co-express a fluorescence protein alongside each TALEN.
  • Utilized fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate cells successfully transfected with both TALEN plasmids.
  • Developed an optimized procedure for TALEN-mediated genomic editing.

Main Results:

  • The improved TALEN system significantly enhances genomic editing efficiency.
  • Fluorescence-activated cell sorting allows for effective isolation of cells with successful dual TALEN transfection.
  • The system demonstrates applicability across all cultured cell types, including those previously considered hard-to-transfect.

Conclusions:

  • The developed TALEN system offers a robust solution for efficient genomic editing.
  • Co-expression of fluorescence proteins and FACS isolation overcome previous transfection efficiency bottlenecks.
  • This advancement is expected to be widely adopted, revolutionizing biomedical research.
