A Recql5 mutant facilitates complex CRISPR/Cas9-mediated-chromosomal engineering in mouse zygotes.
Complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs) are often observed in clinical samples from patients with cancer and congenital diseases but are difficult to induce experimentally. Here, we report the first success in establishing animal models for CCRs. Mutation in Recql5, a crucial member of the DNA helicase RecQ family involved in DNA replication, transcription, and repair, enabled CRISPR/Cas9-mediated CCRs, establishing a mouse model containing triple fusion genes and megabase-sized inversions. Some of these structural features of individual chromosomal rearrangements use template switching and microhomology-mediated break-induced replication mechanisms and are reminiscent of the newly described phenomenon "chromoanasynthesis." These data show that Recql5-mutant mice could be a powerful tool to analyze the pathogenesis of CCRs (particularly chromoanasynthesis) whose underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The Recql5 mutants generated in this study are to be deposited at key animal research facilities, thereby making them accessible for future research on CCRs.
期刊介绍:
GENETICS is published by the Genetics Society of America, a scholarly society that seeks to deepen our understanding of the living world by advancing our understanding of genetics. Since 1916, GENETICS has published high-quality, original research presenting novel findings bearing on genetics and genomics. The journal publishes empirical studies of organisms ranging from microbes to humans, as well as theoretical work.
While it has an illustrious history, GENETICS has changed along with the communities it serves: it is not your mentor''s journal.
The editors make decisions quickly – in around 30 days – without sacrificing the excellence and scholarship for which the journal has long been known. GENETICS is a peer reviewed, peer-edited journal, with an international reach and increasing visibility and impact. All editorial decisions are made through collaboration of at least two editors who are practicing scientists.
GENETICS is constantly innovating: expanded types of content include Reviews, Commentary (current issues of interest to geneticists), Perspectives (historical), Primers (to introduce primary literature into the classroom), Toolbox Reviews, plus YeastBook, FlyBook, and WormBook (coming spring 2016). For particularly time-sensitive results, we publish Communications. As part of our mission to serve our communities, we''ve published thematic collections, including Genomic Selection, Multiparental Populations, Mouse Collaborative Cross, and the Genetics of Sex.
