| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing technology is remarkably progressed, the insertion efficiencies of an exogenous sequence using this technology via the homology directed repair (HDR) are still low. In this study, to assess the relationships between the timing of HDR and cell cycle of zygotes, we microinjected sgRNA/Cas9 with oligomer containing exogenous sequences into mouse zygotes at the different pronucleus stages (PN1-2, PN2-3, PN3-4, PN4-5). The results showed that the highest insertion efficiencies were observed in the zygotes at the PN4-5 stage, whereas the lowest efficiencies in PN1-2 stage zygotes. From these results, HDR in mouse zygotes is also activated by the cell cycle-dependent manner.
