Abstract

The invention relates to genetic engineering transformation of nannochloropsis oculata and particularly relates to a method for carrying out genetic transformation by using Cas9 / CRISPR at a fixed point. A compound is formed by overexpressed Cas9 protein in the nannochloropsis oculata and gRNA, the Cas9 protein is used for carrying out site-specific cleavage on a genome double-stranded DNA under the guidance of the gRNA to cause gene mutation, and mutation is effectively screened by combining a sequencing technique. Fixed-point genetic engineering transformation is carried out on the nannochloropsis oculata by using a CRISPR / Cas technology, so that the algae species improvement efficiency of the nannochloropsis oculata can be significantly improved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biological genetic engineering, in particular to a Cas9 / RNA system and its application. Background technique

[0002] Due to the non-renewability of fossil fuels, and the release of CO from burning fossil fuels 2 Due to the impact of the greenhouse effect, the development of reliable, environmentally friendly, and economically viable alternative energy sources has become an important task for our country and the world. Biofuels are an attractive alternative to existing gasoline. Today's renewable liquid fuels are mainly produced from food. Current biofuels include biodiesel from oily crops (e.g. soybeans, palm trees, tallow, gutter oil), bioethanol and other alcohols from sugar cane and cereals, H 2 , long chain hydrocarbons and biogas (Scott et al., 2010). The production of crop-based biofuels requires large amounts of arable land, which competes with edible crops for land, leading to a "food vs fuel...
