Am interested in getting mutant using the CRISPR cas 9 gene editing technology. However, having taken into consideration of no g after the PAM,still no true mutant. Any idea of a better method?Thanks
The PAM sequence depends upon origin of Cas9 gene. You can use Cas9 of different origin or you can target a gene at 2-3 different regions with different gRNA for getting proper results. Read a recent review with this regard in The Plant Biotechnology journal advance online section.
Just to get a better idea of what we're looking at here:
1. What kind of cells are you working with?
2. What is the nature of the desired mutant? Are you trying to introduce indels, or make a precise change to the nucleotide sequence?
3. What are you using to deliver the CRISPR/Cas9 components? Are you for example injecting Cas9 protein, or are you transfecting a plasmid-based expression system?
