Simple and large-scale chromosomal engineering of mouse zygotes via in vitro and in vivo electroporation

Abstract The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system has facilitated dramatic progress in the field of genome engineering. Whilst microinjection of the Cas9 protein and a single guide RNA (sgRNA) into mouse zygotes is a widespread method for producing genetical...
