Thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus Mitchill 1821; 13-LGS) are useful diurnal rodent models of human cone-mediated vision due to their cone photoreceptor-dominant retinas. To develop the 13-LGS as a better model of inherited human visual disorders, we report a gene-editing protocol targeting the 13-LGS tyrosinase (Tyr) gene. CRISPR/Cas9 microinjection into donor embryos, followed by transfer to pseudo-pregnant recipients, yielded two Tyr-mutated founders. Mating these two to wild-type 13-LGS resulted in 22 offspring, of which five were genotyped with either a 17-bp deletion, 1-bp insertion, or 7-bp deletion Tyr mutation. These results demonstrated that this valuable mammalian model is amenable to germline gene editing by conventional methods.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Reproduction and Development takes an integrated, systems-biology approach to understand the dynamic continuum of cellular, reproductive, and developmental processes. This journal fosters dialogue among diverse disciplines through primary research communications and educational forums, with the philosophy that fundamental findings within the life sciences result from a convergence of disciplines.
Increasingly, readers of the Journal need to be informed of diverse, yet integrated, topics impinging on their areas of interest. This requires an expansion in thinking towards non-traditional, interdisciplinary experimental design and data analysis.
