About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0275
Species: mouse
Position : chr14:6031195-6033195
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Brain malformations
Pubmed ID:  29939173
Enhancer experiment: Immunostaining,CRISPR/Cas9,transfection,PCR,
Enhancer experiment description: In this study, we report a method for the induction of CRISPR-mediated somatic mutations in the cerebellum. Specifically, we utilized conditional knock-in mice, in which Cas9 and GFP are chronically activated by the CAG (CMV enhancer/chicken -actin) promoter after Cre-mediated recombination of the genome. The self-designed single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) and the Cre recombinase sequence, both encoded in a single plasmid construct, were delivered into cerebellar stem/progenitor cells at an embryonic stage using in utero electroporation. Consequently, transfected cells and their daughter cells were labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP), thus facilitating further phenotypic analyses. Hence, this method is not only showing electroporation-based gene delivery into embryonic cerebellar cells but also proposing a novel quantitative approach to assess CRISPR-mediated loss-of-function phenotypes.
