Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Following completion of the genome sequences of amphibians, gene targeting techniques have become increasingly important for the further development of amphibian research in the life sciences. Recent advances in genome editing using the CRISPR-Cas system now allow for reverse genetics in the amphibians, Xenopus laevis, Xenopus tropicalis, and Pleurodeles waltl. In order to refine these amphibians as model animals for life science research, we tried to develop a highly efficient and rapid workflow for gene knock-out, gene knock-in, conditional knock-out, and safe harbor transgenic systems.
