Although the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/ CRISPR associated protein 9 (Cas9) technique has dramatically lowered the cost and increased the speed of generating genetically engineered mice, success depends on using guide RNAs and donor DNAs which direct efficient knock-out (KO) or knock-in (KI). By Sanger sequencing DNA from blastocysts previously injected with the same CRISPR components intended to produce the engineered mice, one can test the effectiveness of different guide RNAs and donor DNAs. We describe in detail here a simple, rapid (three days), inexpensive protocol, for amplifying DNA from blastocysts to determine the results of CRISPR point mutation KIs. Using it, ... More
