Genome editing in diatoms has recently been established for the model species and . The present protocol, although developed for , can be modified to edit any diatom genome as we utilize the flexible, modular Golden Gate cloning system. The main steps include how to design a construct using Golden Gate cloning for targeting two sites, allowing a precise deletion to be introduced into the target gene. The transformation protocol is explained, as are the methods for screening using band shift assay and/or restriction site loss.
硅藻的基因组编辑最近已在模式物种[物种名称1]和[物种名称2]中得以实现。本方案虽为[物种名称3]开发,但可进行修改以编辑任何硅藻基因组,因为我们使用的是灵活的模块化金门克隆系统。主要步骤包括如何使用金门克隆设计一个针对两个位点的构建体,以便将精确的缺失引入目标基因。文中解释了转化方案,以及使用带移测定和/或限制性位点缺失进行筛选的方法。
