Protocol for streamlining genotyping of germline-transmissible mutants from genome editing by using a parallel qPCR-based index and R analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Targeted genome editing using CRISPR-Cas, ZFNs, or TALENs enables precise gene function studies but often produces point mutations or insertions or deletions (indels) that are difficult to detect by conventional PCR. We developed a parallel qPCR assay with an iGenotype index for simple, reliable genotyping. iGenotype values (1, 0, -1) remained constant across allele-specific primers. qPCR data can be analyzed via...
