The present invention provides an sgRNA specifically targeting a
cashmere goat safety site H11 and an application of site-directed knockout and site-directed integration of an
EGFP gene mediated by a
CRISPR / Cas9
system. The present invention first predicts the
complete sequence of the H11 site (SEQIDNO.1) using a
bioinformatics method, and then designs two sgRNAs (SEQIDNO.2 and 3) for the H11 site, and the
DNA sequence of the sgRNA sequence transcribed is shown in SEQIDNO.4 or 5. A targeting vector based on the
CRISPR / Cas9
system is constructed, and then the guiding efficiency of the sgRNA is verified by
TA cloning sequencing, and a homologous integration
EGFP gene vector is constructed at the same time, and finally the screened sgRNA (Cas9 / gRNA co-
expression vector) and the homologous integration vector (H11-EGFP) are simultaneously transfected into
cashmere goat fetal fibroblasts to obtain a
cell line of the H11 site site-directed integration of the
EGFP gene. The sgRNA of the present invention can specifically recognize the H11 site of cashmere goats, guide the Cas9
endonuclease to efficiently
cut the site, and the targeting efficiency is above 50%, which can effectively reduce the off-target phenomenon in the
CRISPR / Cas9
system, thereby reducing the
mutation of non-
target gene sequences caused by non-specific
cutting. By constructing a Cas9 / gRNA
expression vector, the specific modification (knockout or knock-in) of the H11 site can be achieved at the
cell,
embryo, or even
individual level, thereby studying the expression of specific genes and providing
technical support for the breeding of new breeds of goats.
