Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Genome editing is now essential for biological sciences to generate useful animal models. However, the efficiency of targeted integration into a specific genomic locus is still low, limiting application of the technique. In the present study, I attempted to increase the efficiency of targeted genomic integration by modifying Cas9 protein that is widely used as a genome editing tool and obtained basic information that is important for further development of the editing tool.
