CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing of <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i> acetylcholinesterase
2020-07-09
Abstract excerpt
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing shows cogent potential for the genetic modification of helminth parasites. Here we report successful gene knock-in (KI) into the genome of the egg of Schistosoma mansoni by combining CRISPR/Cas9 with single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ssODNs). We edited the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) gene of S. mansoni targeting two guide RNAs (gRNAs), X5 and X7, located on exon 5 and exo...
