Abstract

Significance: Using the recently introduced Cas9/sgRNA technique, we have developed a method for specifically targeting Drosophila germ-line cells to generate heritable mutant alleles. We have established transgenic lines that stably express Cas9 in the germ line and compared different promoters and scaffolds of sgRNA in terms of their efficiency of mutagenesis. An overall mutagenesis rate of 74.2% was achieved with this optimized system, as determined by the number of mutant progeny out of all progeny screened. We also evaluated the off-targets associated with the method and established a Web-based resource, as well as a searchable, genome-wide database of predicted sgRNAs appropriate for genome engineering in flies. Our results demonstrate that this optimized Cas9/sgRNA system in Drosophila is efficient, specific, and cost-effective and can be readily applied in a semi-high-throughput manner.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
