Problems solved by technology

However, most microRNAs regulate gene expression in the form of microRNA families; knocking out a microRNA alone does not completely change the function of the target gene
However, using the traditional method to construct a microRNA family knockout animal model is complicated and labor-intensive; the use of artificially synthesized microRNA antagonists to transfect cells or intravenously inject them into animals is obviously insuf

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for knocking out a microRNA gene family by utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 specificity, wherein a target gene is knocked out by mainly adopting a CRISPR/Cas9 system. The microRNA family is knocked out by utilizing the specificity of the CRISPR/Cas9 system for the first time; the disadvantage that only one gene can be knocked out for one time in traditional transgenosis can be overcome by utilizing the novel method; the time for establishing a model organism is reduced to three weeks; furthermore, the construction step is simple; an expensive molecular reagent is also reduced; the period for constructing a genetically modified mouse is greatly shortened to four months; multiple genes constructed for one time can be knocked out simultaneously; the fund investment is obviously reduced; F1 generations of mice can be obtained only in need of 50000 Yuan; the gene modification efficiency can be above 90%; the unreliability of the traditional technology is reduced; the operation technology is simple; and a series of complex steps including constructing a targeting vector, screening ES (Embryonic Stem) cells, selectively breeding chimeric mice and the like are unnecessary.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for specifically knocking out microRNA genes by CRISPR-Cas9 and the design of specific targeting sgRNA. (2) Background technology [0002] In recent years, my country's pharmaceutical industry has developed rapidly, but at the same time there are many problems, such as weak research and development foundation, flood of imitation of foreign patents, lack of independent intellectual property rights, etc., which seriously restrict the development of my country's pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, it is urgent to enhance my country's drug research and development capabilities. The drug research and development process is the process of disease pathogenic mechanism and drug target screening. Most of the screening process relies on animal disease models of various human diseases, especially mouse models that are closely related to humans (including transgenic and gene knockout) To analyze the pathogenesis of di...
