Genome editing technologies such as ZFN, TALEN, and CRISPR/Cas9 efficiently induce DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) at a targeted genomic locus, often resulting in a frameshift-mediated target gene disruption. It remains difficult to perform targeted integration of exogenous genes by genome editing technologies. DSBs can be restored through DNA repair mechanisms, such as non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ), and homologous recombination (HR). It is well known that HR facilitates homology-dependent integration of donor DNA template into a targeted locus. Recently, both NHEJ-mediated and MMEJ-mediated targeted integrations of exogenous genes have been developed in zebrafish. This chapter summarizes the application of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knock-in technology in zebrafish.
诸如锌指核酸酶(ZFN)、转录激活样效应因子核酸酶(TALEN)和规律成簇间隔短回文重复序列/ Cas9(CRISPR/Cas9)等基因组编辑技术能够在目标基因组位点高效诱导DNA双链断裂(DSB),常常导致移码介导的靶基因破坏。通过基因组编辑技术进行外源基因的靶向整合仍然具有挑战性。DSB可通过DNA修复机制来修复,如非同源末端连接(NHEJ)、微同源性介导的末端连接(MMEJ)和同源重组(HR)。众所周知,HR有助于将供体DNA模板以同源依赖性方式整合到目标位点。最近,在斑马鱼中已经开发出了NHEJ介导和MMEJ介导的外源基因靶向整合方法。本章总结了CRISPR/Cas9介导的敲入技术在斑马鱼中的应用。
