Abstract
The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a revolutionary technology for genome editing that allows for precise and efficient modifications of DNA sequences. The system is composed of two main components, the Cas9 enzyme and a guide RNA (gRNA). The gRNA is designed to specifically target a desired DNA sequence, while the Cas9 enzyme acts as molecular scissors to cut the DNA at that specific location. The cell then repairs the digested DNA, either through nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR), resulting in either indels or precise modifications of DNA sequences with broad implications in biotechnology, agriculture, and medicine. This chapter provides a practical approach for utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 in precise genome editing, including identifying the target gene sequence, designing gRNA and protein (Cas9), and delivering the CRISPR components to target cells.
期刊介绍：
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
