Problems solved by technology

[0005] The T7EN1 enzyme digestion method is the easiest to operate and takes the shortest time, but the sensitivity is too low, and only sites with a high off-target rate can be detected;
[0006] GUIDE-seq technology mainly uses a short double-stranded oligonucleotide tag to mark CRISPR / Cas-induced breaks (on-target and off-target), and then performs high-throughput sequencing on the gene region where the tag is located. The entire detection process of this method It takes a long time, the steps are cumbersome, and it cannot be guaranteed that all the break sites are marked;
[0007] However, Digenome-seq technology is only used in single cells, and it also has the disadvantage of insufficient accuracy.

Embodiment 1

[0031] Human PD1 gene CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing sgRNA1 off-target site detection:

[0032] Step 1: Prediction of off-target sites and synthesis of PCR amplification primers. The potential off-target sites of the PD1 gene editing sgRNA1 used were predicted by the software seqmap. Specifically, the off-target site of sgRNA1 is predicted by software, and the prediction software (website) includes seqmap, CRISPOR, CRISPR finder, CRISPR Design, sgRNAcas9, CRISPRdirect, COSMID, Off-Spotter, E-CRISP, etc., but not limited thereto. The 6 potential off-target sites with the highest score (highest possibility of off-target) were screened, and the information of the off-target sites is shown in Table 1. And derive PCR amplification primers (table 2) for these off-target sites;

Embodiment 2

[0059] Human PD1 gene CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing sgRNA2 off-target site detection:

[0060] Except that Table 1 is replaced by Table 3 in Comparative Example 1, and Table 2 is replaced by Table 4, all the other steps are the same.

[0065]

[0066] The results showed that, except for single base mutations found in OT7 and OT13, there were no insertions, deletions and point mutations in other potential off-target sites. Sequence comparison found that both the unedited sample and the edited sample had the same point mutation, and the mutation site was not in the potential off-target region, such as figure 1 with 2 As shown, thus indicating that the sgRNA does not have off-target effects.

Embodiment 3

[0068] Human PD1 gene CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing sgRNA3 off-target site detection:

[0069] Except that in step 1 of Comparative Example 1, the use of seqmap to predict off-target sites was replaced by CRISPOR to predict off-target sites, Table 1 was replaced with Table 5, and Table 2 was replaced with Table 6, the rest of the steps were the same.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for detecting off-target effect of CRISPR-Cas9, which belongs to the technical field of gene engineering. The method comprises the following steps: a. software is usedto predict an off-target site of sgRNA to obtain a PCR amplification primer; b. a gene sample is selected, and a selected gene sample includes genetic editing samples and non-genetic editing samples;c. PCR amplification is carried out to predict the off-target site; d. high-throughput sequencing is carried out on a PCR product; and e. analysis of results and sequence alignment are carried out. The method compares the gene-edited sample with a control sample that has not been genetically edited according to a specified alignment rule, does not merely compare with the information in the database, is also not necessary to obtain the genetic information of the progeny or parental samples, achieves a personalized search for the possible off-target sites on the genome of the cell, improves theaccuracy and sensitivity of off-target detection, and improves the safety of gene editing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a method for detecting off-target effects of CRISPR-Cas9. Background technique [0002] The CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) system is a gene editing system successfully developed in recent years, and it is a bacterial acquired immune system. The CRISPR / Cas9 system derived from Streptococcus pyogenes has been widely used in genetic engineering due to the advantages of simple operation, quickness and high efficiency. The CRISPR / Cas9 system includes Cas9, crRNA and tracrRNA. During the functioning of the CRISPR / Cas9 system, the Cas9 protein, crRNA and tracrRNA first combine to form a complex, which recognizes and binds to the complementary sequence of crRNA, and then the HNH active site of the Cas9 protein The point cuts the complementary DNA strand of crRNA, and the Ruvc active site cuts the non-complementary strand, which breaks the ...
