TY - GEN T1 - SapTrap assembly of repair templates for Cas9-triggered homologous recombination with a self-excising cassette AU - Dickinson, Daniel J AU - Slabodnick, Mark M AU - Chen, Alicia H AU - Goldstein, Bob DO - 10.17912/W2KT0N UR - http://beta.micropublication.org/journals/biology/w2kt0n/ AB - The advent of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in C. elegans has enabled an unprecedented level of control over this organism’s genome, which is facilitating research in a wide variety of fields. Several different experimental approaches exist for CRISPR in this organism (Dickinson and Goldstein 2016). One particularly powerful approach uses a drug selection with a Self-Excising Cassette (SEC) to isolate the desired genetically-modified animals following Cas9-triggered homologous recombination (Dickinson et al. 2015). The most labor-intensive step in this procedure is the construction of a plasmid-based repair template for homologous recombination. PY - 2018 JO - microPublication Biology ER -
