Figure Lengend Snippet: Generation of zebrafish abcc4 −/− mutants with a clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system. The red color indicates the sgRNA target sequences for zebrafish abcc4 gene. ( A ) Diagram of the target site in the zebrafish abcc4 genome. ( B ) Abcc4 amino acids of wild-type (WT) and abcc4 −/− mutants. ( C ) The predicted truncation of zebrafish Abcc4 protein. N and C indicate N terminal and C terminal, respectively. The red star symbol indicates a sgRNA targeting site of the abcc4 gene.
Article Snippet: The sgRNA target sequences for the abcc4 gene were as follows: GGAGAAGCCGTTCGCCATGC. sgRNA was generated with a PCR-amplified template which contained the T7 promoter and gRNA scaffold sequences, and then synthesized in vitro with T7 RNA polymerase (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).
Techniques: CRISPR
