Redefining mouse transgenesis with CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology

Abstract The generation of genetically modified alleles in mice using conventional transgenesis technologies is a long and inefficient process. A new study shows that the in situ delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 reagents into pregnant mice results in a high efficiency of editing, and enables the rapid genera...
