Abstract:

In order to more effectively apply CRISPR-Cas9 in researches on gene functions and transgenetic animals,we transfected the PK15 cell line with the CRISPR-Cas9 system containing GFP and Myostatin.Positive cells were separated and collected by flow cytometry.Point mutations were detected and analyzed by PCR and DNA sequencing.The results showed that,among 100 randomly-selected positive clones,the mutation rate was 38%,including 32 insertions and 6 deletions.Mutant 1(one of the insertions) had the highest frequency(47.4%).In this experiment,the mutation rate of CRISPR-Cas9 system is 38% and certain mutation type bias is observed.
