Process about CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of Physcomitrella patens

The fundamental principle of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout involves the creation of double-stranded breaks in the target DNA sequence, which triggers the cellular repair machinery. In the case of Physcomitrella patens, researchers can design single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) specific to their gene of interest. These sgRNAs guide the Cas9 enzyme to the precise location within the genome, where it introduces a double-stranded break. When the DNA is repaired, errors can occur, resulting in insertions or deletions (indels) that disrupt the target gene's function. This disruption effectively leads to a knockout phenotype, allowing researchers to study the gene's role in the moss's development and physiology.

What do we offer?

• Designing custom sgRNAs. Our experts work with scientists to create sgRNAs that are incredibly targeted, and that specifically target the desired genes in Physcomitrella patens. Our cutting-edge bioinformatics techniques guarantee the best sgRNA design, minimizing off-target effects and maximizing gene knockout efficiency.
• Efficient delivery methods. For successful gene editing, CRISPR/Cas9 components must be delivered effectively. The CRISPR/Cas9 system can be delivered through various techniques, such as protoplast transformation and particle bombardment, to guarantee that it reaches its intended target inside the moss cells.
• Genotype screening. Accurate genotyping screening is necessary to detect and validate effective gene disruption following the knockout process. We use cutting-edge molecular biology methods like PCR and sequencing to evaluate the knockout events and give scientists accurate information.
• Phenotypic analysis. The potential of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockdown to highlight the functional importance of genes is where its greatest strength lies. We support researchers in carrying out thorough phenotypic investigations to comprehend the impacts of gene disruption on the growth, development, and physiological responses of Physcomitrella patens.
