Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and specifically relates to a Physcomitrella patens whole-genome CRISPR / Cas9 knockout plasmid library and a construction and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In plant genomics research and breeding programs, mutation is increasingly important as the core driving force for genetic improvement and new variety breeding. Traditional mutagenesis methods treat plant materials through physical means (such as ultraviolet rays, X-rays and gamma radiation, etc.) and chemical mutagens (such as ethyl methanesulfonate EMS, sodium azide, etc.) to induce DNA damage and subsequent mutations. Biological mutagenesis methods, especially Agrobacterium-mediated transfer DNA (T-DNA) insertion technology and gene silencing technology, also provide powerful tools for expanding the plant genetic mutation library. Although these traditional methods have enriched the genetic mutation library to a certain extent, they have limitations such as random and unpredictable mutagenesis process and difficulty in obtaining specific types of mutations.

[0003] With the rapid development of gene editing technology, the CRISPR / Cas9 system has shown great potential in the field of plant gene function analysis and crop genetic improvement due to its precise, efficient and flexible characteristics. However, the application of the CRISPR / Cas9 system in specific model plants such as Physcomitrella patens faces many challenges. Physcomitrella patens is an important model plant for plant gene function and evolution, and is also one of the most important chassis plants in synthetic biology. Although Physcomitrella patens has the advantages of simple structure, short growth cycle, and strong homologous recombination ability, its genes are mostly multi-copy, and there are a large number of repeated or similar sequences in the gene sequence, which makes it very easy to cause off-target phenomena during gene editing, increasing the difficulty of sgRNA design and selection. Therefore, the design of a whole-genome CRISPR / Cas9 knockout plasmid library for Physcomitrella patens has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. At present, although a variety of gene editing technologies have been tried in Physcomitrella patens, they are often time-consuming and inefficient, making it difficult to achieve large-scale, high-throughput gene editing. This limits the research progress of Physcomitrella patens in the fields of functional genomics and biotechnology applications. It can be seen that developing a technology that can overcome the off-target problem of gene editing in Physcomitrella patens and achieve efficient and accurate whole-genome CRISPR / Cas9 knockout plasmid library design is of great significance for promoting the application of Physcomitrella patens in plant genomics research and breeding programs. Summary of the invention

[0049] Example 2 In this example, based on Example 1, after the construction of the Physcomitrella patens whole genome dual sgRNA CRISPR / Cas9 knockout plasmid library is completed, in order to ensure the quality and reliability of the library, a series of quality inspection steps need to be performed. The following is a detailed overview of the quality inspection process: 1. PCR amplification and sequencing preparation Using the plasmid library as a template, a high-fidelity enzyme was used to amplify amplicons suitable for Illumina sequencing.

[0050] 1. Primer Design Upstream primer: GGCTACCGTCTCCGTTTTAGAGCTAG (as shown in SEQ ID NO.7); Downstream primer: GGCTACCGTCTCGATGGGTTGTAAGT (as shown in SEQ ID NO.8) 2. PCR reaction system PCR reaction system

[0051] PCR reaction procedure

[0052] 3. Test results: The size of the amplified product is correct, the band is single, and it meets the sequencing standards.

[0053] 2. Illumina sequencing The amplicons were sequenced by Illumina sequencing platform to assess the coverage and homogeneity of the plasmid library.

[0054] Sequencing standards: The amplicons were sequenced using Illumina, ensuring that the plasmid library coverage was ≥98%, homogeneity was <10, and sequencing depth was 100X.

[0055] For detailed test results, please see the attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 shown.

[0056] 3. Analysis of sequencing results 1. Comparison information statistics By comparing and analyzing the Illumina sequencing results, the number of reads of sgRNA was counted, see Table 1.

[0057] Table 1: Comparison information statistics

[0058] Raw reads: total number of sgRNA raw reads; Raw base: the total number of bases obtained from the sgRNA raw read data; Q30: Q30 means that the probability of a single base error does not exceed 0.1%, that is, the sequencing accuracy is 99.9%. Generally speaking, the Q30 ratio of sequencing data must be greater than 80% to be used for subsequent analysis; Clean reads: the total number of high-quality reads after quality control processing; Percent: The percentage of Clean reads to Raw reads; Mapped reads: The number of reads that are completely aligned to the sgRNA Library; Mapping ratio: the ratio of reads that are completely mapped to the sgRNA Library; Total sgRNAs: the total number of sgRNAs in the sgRNA library; Zero sgRNAs: the number of sgRNAs lost in the sgRNA library; Coverage rate: Library coverage, that is, the ratio of the detected sgRNA to the total sgRNA. For library quality control, coverage > 90% is generally required.

[0059] From the data in Table 1, we can see that among the 57,048 sgRNAs in the whole genome library of Physcomitrella patens, 10% of the sgRNAs have reads ≤ 76, and 90% of the sgRNAs have reads ≤ 678, with a ratio of 8.92 times, indicating that the library uniformity is qualified. Among them, there are 11 sgRNAs with 0 reads and a coverage of 99.96%, that is, most of the sgRNAs were successfully amplified and sequenced.

[0060] Through the above quality inspection steps, it can be confirmed that the quality of the dual sgRNA plasmid library is reliable and meets the requirements of subsequent experiments. The coverage and uniformity of the library have reached the expected standards, and the sequencing results also verify this, which provides a solid foundation for subsequent experiments and ensures the accuracy and reliability of the experiments.
