Embodiment 1

[0039] 1. Selection of mouse multi-copy gene target sites and design of corresponding sgRNA

[0040] The X staining of the mouse was deeply sequenced, and the repeated sequences with more than 50 copies were selected for use. Then, the CRISPR / Cas9 target sequence online design software was used to analyze the candidate sequence, and compared with the whole mouse genome sequence, the X-B and X-D sites with the lowest off-target efficiency were selected, and the corresponding sgRNA X-B and sgRNA X-D sequences were designed. The information is shown in Table 1-2 below.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for gene editing of X chromosome multi-copy genes to realize animal sex control. By screening and selecting one or more multi-copy genes on the X chromosome of mammals as target sites, designing and synthesizing corresponding sgRNAs, and then By constructing a CRISPR / Cas9 expression system targeting multiple copies of the X chromosome to cut the X chromosome in mammalian sperm or fertilized eggs, the entire X chromosome can be inactivated, the X sperm can be killed, and the birth rate of male mammals can be improved. , or lethal XY embryos, increase the birth rate of female mammals. The method provided by the invention has high cutting efficiency of X chromosome, low off-target rate, and good sex control effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a method for realizing sex control of mammals through gene editing of X chromosome multi-copy genes. Background technique [0002] In order to meet different production needs, people are eager to obtain a large number of livestock and poultry of the required sex through sex control technology, and reduce the waste of raw materials. The gene editing technology is a technology for editing the genome of an organism, which can realize the knockout, insertion and replacement of a certain gene, which provides a new direction for the research of sex control technology. Using gene editing technology, a knockout line of sex-related genes can be established to study its role in sex differentiation and gonad development, and then the expression of sex-related genes can be enhanced or inhibited by inserting foreign genes to achieve the purpose of sex ratio shift . However, the ...
