Direct Generation of Conditional Alleles Using CRISPR/Cas9 in Mouse Zygotes.

Abstract excerpt

Conditional alleles in genetically modified mice allow for the deletion of a gene of interest in a target tissue when combined with a tissue-specific Cre recombinase. A conditional allele is achieved by introducing LoxP sites around a critical exon, a gene, or a cluster of genes. Previously, conditional alleles were introduced in the mouse germline by classic gene targeting in embryonic stem cells, a challenging...
