Problems solved by technology

[0009] Although the Cre-loxp recombinase system can mediate the conditional knockout of genes and avoid the disadvantages of traditional gene targeting techniques such as premature death of embryos caused by missing functional genes, there are still many uncertainties:
[0010] ①There is a hidden/false LoxP sequence in the mammalian genome, and its sequence may not be exactly the same as the conserved sequence of LoxP, but it can be recognized

Abstract

The invention discloses a primer used for gene knockout, which comprises five groups of primer, and can be respectively shown in a SEQ NO:1, a SEQ NO:2, a SEQ NO:3, a SEQ NO:4, a SEQ NO:5, a SEQ NO:6, a SEQ NO:7, a SEQ NO:8, SEQ NO:9 and a SEQ NO:10. The invention also discloses an application of the primer in gene knockout aspect. The invention also discloses a conditional gene knockout method based on a CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The method can performing condition specificity, space-time specificity, and medicine-induced type gene modification; harm due to other cells can be reduced, function of constitutive expression gene in a specific tissue can be researched; tissue and space specificity gene knockout or induction type gene knockout can be realized by only using Cas9 tool mice; test period is short, and time and cost are saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gene modification, in particular to a conditional gene knockout method based on CRISPR / Cas9 technology. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the continuous exploration of the field of life sciences, it is more urgent to study the expression of a gene in a specific tissue, cell and time in vivo. The site-specific recombination technology developed rapidly in recent years is a key gene manipulation tool to meet this need. It can induce target gene inactivation at a certain developmental stage or in a specific tissue, avoiding embryonic damage caused by target gene deletion. In case of early death or complex phenotype, delete the screening marker gene, so as to make a complete functional analysis of the target gene. Currently widely used recombinase systems include Cre-LoxP system, FLP-FRT system, R-RS system and I-SceI system, but the most widely used system is C...
