Project Summary This grant supports a project to generate and characterize Xenopus mutants in key genes related to human disease, establish a new Xenopus Mutant Resource, develop new transgenic lines for genome editing and establish efficient site-specific integration. The long-term goals of the studies are to generate new models of human disease that will provide useful resources for the biomedical research community. The proposed studies will use CRISPR-Cas gene editing to create precise models of human disease in the amphibian Xenopus. The current studies are focused on developing Xenopus models of many different diseases for the entire Xenopus community, and each mutant will be developed in close coordination with individual researchers. There are four main aims to this proposal. First, we propose to collaborate with Xenopus researchers to characterize existing mutants (over 116) that were developed over the last four years. The mutants cover a wide range of topics that require varied expertise that can only be obtained through interactions with other researchers. Second, we propose to generate new mutants using CRISPR-Cas as requested by researchers. As the national stock center for Xenopus, we have the proven expertise to breed and maintain these mutants. Third, we will generate new transgenic lines that will be used for genome editing. These new lines will allow for more tissue-specific expression of Cas9. Fourth, we propose to develop homology directed repair for more efficient generation of site-specific integration of exogenous DNA. All of these aims will help enhance the utilization of CRISPR-Cas gene editing methods in the Xenopus model system.

项目概要 这笔赠款支持一个项目，旨在生成和表征与人类相关的关键基因中的非洲爪蟾突变体 疾病，建立新的非洲爪蟾突变体资源，开发用于基因组编辑的新转基因系和 建立高效的特定站点集成。研究的长期目标是产生新的模型 人类疾病将为生物医学研究界提供有用的资源。拟议的 研究将使用 CRISPR-Cas 基因编辑在两栖动物中创建人类疾病的精确模型 爪蟾。目前的研究重点是开发许多不同疾病的非洲爪蟾模型 整个非洲爪蟾群落，每个突变体都将与个体密切协调开发 研究人员。该提案有四个主要目标。首先，我们提议与Xenopus合作 研究人员对过去四年中开发的现有突变体（超过 116 个）进行了表征。这 突变体涵盖了广泛的主题，需要不同的专业知识，而这些专业知识只能通过 与其他研究人员的互动。其次，我们建议使用 CRISPR-Cas 生成新的突变体 应研究人员的要求。作为国家爪蟾种群中心，我们拥有经过验证的繁殖专业知识 并维持这些突变体。第三，我们将产生新的转基因品系，用于基因组编辑。 这些新细胞系将允许 Cas9 进行更多组织特异性表达。四、我们建议发展 同源定向修复可更有效地生成外源 DNA 的位点特异性整合。所有的 这些目标将有助于增强 CRISPR-Cas 基因编辑方法在非洲爪蟾模型中的利用 系统。
