Precision gene targeting to a particular locus in maize

The present invention claims methods for the stable integration of exogenous DNA into a specific locus, E32, in the maize genome through the use of zinc finger nucleases. Maize plants and plant parts that were transformed by the methods of the invention are claimed. The invention is useful for creating desirable traits such as herbicide resistance, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, insect tolerance, disease resistance, disease tolerance, stress tolerance, and stress resistance in maize The E32 locus represents a superior site for inserting foreign genes because native agronomic phenotypes are not disturbed.

EFFICIENT TRACELESS GENE EDITING SYSTEM FOR SALMONELLA AND USE THEREOF
20240197792 · 2024-06-20 ·

An efficient and scarless gene editing system for Salmonella and the use thereof are provided. ?Red recombinase is used to promote a double crossover of a DNA template with a genomic target site, the CRISPR/Cas9 system is used for screening, and one-step homologous recombination is used to rapidly construct a targeting plasmid, which can realize insertion, substitution or knock-out of genes. Genomic DNA is completely substituted according to a design of homologous template, and without other fragment residues. Genome editing can be completed efficiently within 3-4 days, thereby reducing the experimental workload and shortening the experimental cycle.
