DNA Isolation

DNA Isolation

DNA isolation protocols can be fast and straightforward or complex and time-consuming depending on the type and quality of DNA required for further processing. For example, plasmid DNA extraction is a bit more complicated than genomic DNA extraction because of the need for an appropriate lysis method to separate plasmid DNA from gDNA during isolation. However, for specific applications, such as long-range DNA sequencing that require a good yield of high- quality DNA samples, we need to follow...

DNA-only Transposons

DNA-only Transposons

DNA-only transposons are called autonomous transposons since they code for the enzyme transposase that is required for the transposition mechanism. Insertion of transposons can alter gene functions in multiple ways. They can mutate the gene, alter gene expression by introducing a novel promoter or insulator sequence, introduce new splice sites, and change the mRNA transcripts produced, or remodel chromatin structure.
The donor site from where the transposon is excised is either degraded or...

Background:

Prime editing (PE) offers precise genome modification without double-strand breaks (DSBs).
However, PE has limitations in integrating large DNA fragments into the genome.
Efficient large DNA integration is crucial for various genetic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel genome editing system for efficient large DNA integration.
To overcome the limitations of prime editing in incorporating large DNA sequences.
To enable targeted integration of large DNA fragments (~36 kb) into the genome.

Main Methods:

Utilized a clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system.
Incorporated an integrase-based strategy for DNA integration.
Developed and tested a combined CRISPR/Cas9 and integrase system for targeted large DNA insertion.

Main Results:

The novel system demonstrated efficient targeted integration of large DNA sequences (~36 kb).
Achieved higher efficiency in large DNA integration compared to existing methods.
Successfully integrated large DNA fragments into the genome at targeted loci.

Conclusions:

The reported CRISPR/Cas9 and integrase-based system enables efficient large DNA integration.
This advancement overcomes a key limitation of prime editing for large DNA insertions.
The system holds significant potential for gene therapy and synthetic biology applications.
