Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic diagram of the long double stranded DNA donor Donor contains 5′phosphorothioate modification at the first 5 nt of both DNA strands. Plasmid DNA encoding gene cassette of an ubiquitin promoter driven EGFP with its terminator (green line) flanked on both sides by homology arms (HA) (yellow lines). A pair of 5′-phosphorothioated (P) primers (blue arrows) is used to amplify the dsDNA. PCR products are purified using a DNA column purification kit and inspected by agarose gel electrophoresis comparing with non-purified PCR (primer dimer contamination) amplicon. Purified DNA from the PCR, not from agarose gel, serves as the donor template for HDR.
