Abstract:

This study aimed to establish a highly efficient and stable gene editing technique mediated by CRISPR/Cas to knock out the targeted gene,and explore its application in chicken preliminarily,and to provide the operation basis for the subsequent poultry genetic edition.We cloned the full-length of C2EIP (chr2,Expression in PGC) gene according to sequence in NCBI Database,and designed 3 gRNAs named gRNA1,gRNA2 and gRNA3 based on the location of APM in the sequence to construct the cas9/gRNA vector.SSA activity assay,T7E1 digestion method and sequencing of TA cloning were used to detect the knock-out efficiency of the gRNA after the cas9/gRNA vector transfected into DF-1.Results of SSA activity assay showed that only cas9/gRNA3 vector could knock out the gene effectively,fluorescence activity which transfected cas9/gRNA3 was twice higher than the control group;Result of T7E1 digestion showed that activity of cas9/gRNA3 was 27%,sequencing of TA cloning results showed there were 8 mutational samples in 30 samples,and the efficiency of gene-knockout was 26%.In this study we established the technology of gene knockout mediated by CRISPR/Cas in chicken,which can be used to konck out genes in DF-1 stably.
