Figure Lengend Snippet: Multiplex genome editing using GoCas12m–FokI. ( A ) Maps showing the crRNA expression units targeting different gene locus. Experimental design of duplex and triplex genome editing assays. HEK293T cells were lipofected with 500 ng of plasmid encoding the GoCas12m–FokI editor, along with one, two, or three pairs of crRNAs targeting CLTA1, AIFM1 , and HBB . crRNAs were delivered as PCR products at varying concentrations (100, 150, or 250 ng each guide). After 72 h, genomic DNA was extracted, and editing efficiency was assessed at each targeted locus. ( B ) The upper panel shows T7EI cleavage assay results from duplex editing conditions, along with corresponding quantification by Illumina MiSeq for each locus. ( C ) The lower panel shows T7EI and sequencing-based quantification from the triplex editing condition, targeting all three loci simultaneously. Genomic amplicons were generated using locus-specific primers, and editing frequencies are presented as mean ± SD from three independent biological replicates ( N = 3).
Article Snippet: Reannealing reaction was prepared by combining 200 ng of amplicons, 2 μl of 10X NEBuffer 2 (NEB – B6002) and nuclease-free H 2 O to a total of 19.5 μl volume.
