Figure Lengend Snippet: Gene expression analysis in DF1 cells after transfer of each of the 10 selected transcription factor (TF) genes and generation of enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) knock-in (KI) chicken DF1 cells into exon 1 of the DAZL gene. (A) Expression profiles of DDX4 and DAZL genes after transfection of each expression vector of the 10 selected transcription factor genes preferentially expressed in chicken germ cells. (B) Schematic diagram of the targeted site in the DAZL gene and KI vector with eGFP and puromycin-resistant gene conjugated by 2A sequences. Promoter-less of eGFP-2A-puro R KI vector was inserted into the start codon of the first exon in the chicken DAZL gene using a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated system. The expression of eGFP and puro R is controlled by the endogenous chicken DAZL promoter specifically in the germ cell lineage. The blue letters are the start codon of the DAZL gene. The red and bold letters are guide RNA (gRNA) and protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequences, respectively. (C) Morphology of eGFP-2A-puro R KI DF1 cells. Scale: 100 μm. * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001.

(A) Experimental scheme for induction of germ cells from eGFP-2A-puro R knock-in (KI) DF1 cells through overexpression of 10 TFs. GFP expression was detected 7 days after transfection of the 10 TFs.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparison of on-target and collateral effects of RfxCas13d and HfCas13d in chicken cells. a DF1-RfxCas13d and DF1-HfCas13d were each co-transfected with vectors encoding DsRed and five different crRNA (targeting DsRed mRNA) or NT crRNA (negative control). DsRed fluorescence knockdown by different crRNAs was determined by flow cytometry. b DF1-RfxCas13d and DF1-HfCas13d were each co-transfected with vectors encoding GFP and individual crRNA (targeting GFP mRNA) or NT crRNAs (negative).
