Heritable/conditional genome editing in C.elegans using a CRISPR-Cas9 feeding system
Dear Editor,Type Ⅱ clustered,regularly interspaced,short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated (Cas) system is a novel genome-editing tool for targeted mutagenesis in cultured cells and whole organisms ”1-3”.Recently,the CRISPR-Cas9 system has been applied in C.elegans using various delivery approaches including the transgene method and the direct injection of Cas9 mRNA/single guide RNA (sgRNA) or Cas9-sgRNA ribonucleoproteins ”4-6”.In the present study,we have developed a CRISPR-Cas9-based genome-editing tool for C.elegans by delivering gene-specific guide RNA (gRNA) through bacterial feeding to achieve gene disruptions in a timeand labor-saving manner.
