Genome Editing Knock-out (KO) and Knockin (KI) Cell Lines Generation
The emergence of CRISPR/Cas9 system as a precise and affordable method for genome editing has prompted its rapid adoption for the targeted integration/knockin and knockout of transgenes in many cell lines, such as Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and human HEK293 cells. Site recognition in the CRISPR/Cas9 system is carried out within a Cas9 nuclease/sgRNA complex via base pairing between CRISPR RNA (crRNA) of sgRNA and target locus in sequence-specific manner. Upon target recognition, Cas9 becomes activated, generating a blunt double-stranded break (DSB) between 3rd and 4th base upstream from the PAM site.
The DSB can be subsequently repaired by endogenouse cellular pathways, NHEJ (non-homologous end-joining) generating indel mutations for the knockout generation at the targeted locus, or HDR (homology-directed repair) generating knockin at the targeted locus under DNA repair template (GOI in between two homology arms). Specific recognition of sgRNA to the target sequence makes CRISP/Cas9 genome editing technology highly specific, easier to design, multiplexed editing versatility, have fostered the use and evolution of CRISP/Cas9 as a tool over previous systems, such as ZFNs and TALENs.
