Problems solved by technology

There are also reports that some laboratories use the principle of NHEJ instead of homologous recombination (HR) to carry out knock-in (Thomas O. Auer, et al. 2014). This method simultaneously generates DSBs on the zebrafish genome and donor DNA, thereby mediating The direct connection between the genome and the exogenous DNA at the broken chain can realize the insertion and integration of specific exogenous DNA, but because NHEJ itself is easy to generate indels, and the indels are highly random, so the efficiency of site-specific integration is not high. High, only 4%; in addition, this method is prone to the problem of multi-copy insertion; finally, this method is more beneficial for the integration of certain types of special foreign DNA fragments, such as Gal4, GFP, etc., otherwise the workload of later screening will be larger

Embodiment 1

[0047] Example 1 Preparation of wild-type Cas9 or Cas9n-D10A sequence and sgRNA

[0048] The wild-type Cas9 or Cas9n-D10A sequence was added to the nuclear localization sequence (the sequence is CCGCCACC), and then the SP6 promoter sequence (the sequence was CATACGATTTAGGTGACACTATAG) was added upstream of the entire sequence, and the capping was obtained using an in vitro transcription kit (capped) and polyA-added mRNA, the obtained Cas9 or Cas9n-D10A mRNA was mixed in different combinations and frozen at -80°C for later use. The sgRNA has a T7 promoter sequence upstream and a downstream sequence partially complementary to the upstream through DNA synthesis, and double-stranded DNA is obtained by PCR amplification, which is obtained using an in vitro transcription kit.

Embodiment 2

[0051]Example 2. Mapping potential nicks at the target site of integration of zebrafish Ndr2 and GFAP

[0052] Query and download the zebrafish Ndr2 genome sequence (NM_139133) on the genome database (such as NCBI: https: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / ), and perform PAM analysis on the sequence of the region to be integrated, according to figure 1 The spacing shown selects the two PAM sites with higher scores.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a method for realizing precise genome editing and fixed-point gene knock-in in fish. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development and improvement of whole genome sequencing technology and the implementation of large-scale genome annotation projects, biological science research has entered the post-genome era. In the post-genome era, the focus of genome research will shift to gene function, that is, from determining the DNA sequence of genes and explaining all the genetic information of life to the study of biological functions at the molecular level, exploring human health and human health at the molecular level. The mystery of disease (Peltonen and McKusick, 2001). Researchers have begun to make various attempts to apply the results of genome research to various fields of basic scientific research and personalized medicine (Chan and Ginsburg, 2011). Ho...
